Make a resolution wheel with your child to help figure out strategies to use when a problem arises. Take a paper plate or cardboard circle and make an X in the center of it to divide it into 4 sections. In each section, write (and encourage your child to illustrate) the words “share,” “take turns,” “guess a number,” and “pick an object.” Then, fasten the paper arrow onto the center of the plate with a paper fastener. When your child encounters a problem, have them spin the resolution wheel to find a strategy to try out.
