For Evaluation Only

Role-Play

Review the instructions on the slide.
Review the Parent Worksheet looking at the different behaviors people
should watch for during the role-play. Have the observers use the Parenting
Worksheet to list the positive and negative behaviors they observe.

 Option: Depending on the size of the class, you may want to break into
larger groups and have more parents observing the interaction.
 Option: Instead of breaking up into groups, you might poll the class for the

major kinds of conflicts they are having with their children and take two
examples that reflect common issues of these parents. Then, stage the role-
play with most of the class observing. Have different people looking for
specific behaviors from the list on the worksheet, and then review. Stage
the role play again, having parents try better behaviors to impact the
situation.
Discuss the results as a class. What did you observe? What did you learn?
What will you take back and try differently with your kids?
