I love using the CBT approach as teaching moments with my daughter. Instead of lecturing on what to do, I ask her what she is capable of doing. This morning Graciela explained, If someone is not nice to me, I dont need to tell on them. All I need to do is walk away and find some else to play with. I can handle it myself. Im a big girl. I asked her, can you do that without being mean to the other person? Graciela thought for a moment and said, Yeah, cause God doesnt want me to be mean. I can tell them that they hurt my feelings and then just walk away. That way they know they cant just bully me. I acted the role out with her and asked how she will handle the anger or hurt that my come up from the situation, Graciela replied, Well, if they keep hurting my feelings then I just will not play with them anymore. And then, I will feel sad for them because they wont have me as a friend...right mommy. I affirmed her new tactic and told her how insightful she was. (I love the insight of my 5 year old)
