today's OOJ is a transcription of a family session i did today with two siblings.
scene: me and two siblings- kid A, 8 years old, and kid B, 7 years old- discuss a problem they've been having at home. we're practicing "i statements".
me: ok, kid A, are you ready? (prompting him) 'i feel...'
kid A: i feel sad when you lock me out of your room but let everyone else [the other siblings] go in.
me: kid B, what did he say?
kid B: he feels sad when i lock him out of my room.
me: good job! do you want to say something back to him? 'i feel...'
kid B: i feel mad when you throw farts in my room.
me: (thinking to myself) "throw farts"? is that a phrase???
kid A: but our brother farts in your room!!
kid B: he stops when i tell him to!
me: kid A, is there something you can do differently?
kid a: i can run to the bathroom and fart in there.
me: ok... are you able to control your farts?
kid a: (sadly) no.
me: kid A, what happens if he can't run to the bathroom fast enough and farts in your room?
kid b: that's ok if he makes a mistake.
