Group Discussion
Refer to the slide - What works for one child may not work for another.

Interacting with your child can be challenging when your personality style is
at odds with your child’s.

Example: You may be calm and looking to rest after dinner. Your child may
be energetic and ready to interact with you. How do you react? Discuss
possible options:
• Yelling at them to be quiet and leave you alone – NOT!

• Sending them off to play outside with friends – Depends on
neighborhood, situation, etc.

• Stopping and taking time to play with your child before resting.
• Relax by watching TV with them.

• Get your child involved in a project or activity they can do by
themselves or with a sibling.

• Give them some attention, and then redirect them to a quieter activity.

• Have your spouse or partner spend time with your child while you
relax.
