Teach the children how to talk to each other about what “bothers” them. For example, one child says, “May I give you a bother and a wish?” The other child says, “Yes, you may give me a bother and a wish.” The first child says, “It bothers me when you... I wish you would....” For example, “It bothers me when you grab my blanket. I wish you would use your own blanket.”
