How could the toys left in the kitchen effect everyone?
• There’s no room to put my cereal bowl on the table. • It’s hard for Mom to move around the kitchen in the morning. • I could get upset if my favorite toy is broken. • Mom can’t sweep the floor. • If I spilled my juice, my toys could get dirty or sticky. • Baby sister can’t crawl on the floor – there are too many small pieces she could put in her mouth. • My toys are already out for the new day’s play. • Maybe these are not the toys I want to play with today. Play with “what-ifs” that could change situations. “I’ll describe a situation, then you tell me what could happen to stop it.” Scenario: “You want to wear your favorite tee-shirt tomorrow. I’ve told you that I will wash it for you tonight and it will be ready tomorrow.” Question #1: “What could stop me from washing your tee-shirt?” • There’s no more laundry detergent. • The washing machine breaks. • Mom doesn’t feel well. • There is a storm and the electricity goes out. • Mom wants me to clean my room and she won’t wash my shirt
