The 12 situation
The cubes of building material depict the ranks of lined up soldiers. They «rebuilt» and «marched», «stood at attention and at ease»: the soldiers «prepared» for the parade.
Sasha gave orders loudly for 5 years, as befits a real commander with the rank of captain.
“Sashenka, come on, put your cubes together and get ready for a walk,” the grandmother says to her grandson.
— Well, grandmother! .. What kind of cubes are these! These are soldiers, and I am their captain.
— All the same, Sashok, we must go for a walk. Come on, get ready, Grandma insists.
“Grandma, I’m the commander, and please don’t command me!” They don’t command the commander!
There seems to be a conflict brewing. It seems that the grandson is not going to obey. Grandmother knows her grandson well — stubborn! But she is resourceful in her approach to the stubborn.
— Comrade captain, listen to my command! — says the grandmother in the tone of a real commander.
The grandson looks up in surprise. Still not understanding what the matter is, he nevertheless “accepts” the grandmother’s playful tone and, just in case, clarifies:
— And who are you?
— I’m a major, I’m your boss.
— Well then … I’m listening to your command! Sasha saluted his grandmother.
— Give the order to the soldiers «at ease», and march at a pace — dress for a walk!
If a senior in rank gives an order, how can you disobey!
Comment psychologist:
It is easier for an adult to achieve obedience from a child using game techniques. By joining the game and taking on one or another role corresponding to the game situation, the adult thereby finds contact with the child, removes his resistance to his demand. Game techniques are especially effective in approaching children of primary and secondary preschool age.
The 13 situation
The first frosts covered the stream with a crystal crust. Six-year-old Valerik and Zhenya decided to test the strength of the ice. The most common method: will the ice fail or not if you walk on it? Finding themselves knee-deep in icy water, they had to listen to the notation from their parents: you can’t do this, you can get sick. The warning, unfortunately, did not work: the «experiment» was repeated the next day. The parents of Valerik and Zhenya, each in their own way, began to instruct their sons. See →
