STATION # 1:

Little Sally had disobeyed her Mother. She went outside into the backyard to play without permission. Sally's Mother does not tolerate disobedience.

Sally didn't really understand the problem. She wasn't going to stay outside unattended. She wanted her doll. Sally's Mother demanded Sally go to her room for alone time.

Sally was very unhappy. Her Mother wouldn't even listen to her. What will Sally do?

STATION # 2:

Little Johnny is a well behaved child. He follows rules and always acts in a pleasant fashion.

One morning Johnny told his Mother he was going to clean his room. To surprise his mother he thought that he would also clean his bedroom window. Johnny took out the step-stool when his Mother was on the phone and grabbed the bottle of 'blue stuff' that his mother used to clean windows.

Just as Johnny climbed up onto the stool his Mother said, "Johnny you get down from there".

They had a discussion about safety; Johnny should not have been climbing on that ladder, nor handling cleaning products. He explained his reasoning. His Mother thanked him for being honest and trying to do a good job in his room. She also told him that he is too young to accomplish these tasks alone. She helped him clean his windows. Johnny was very happy!

Little Suzie sat on the front step watching the neighbourhood kids play across the street. They asked her if she wanted to play and she shook her head.

Suzie was too nervous to play with the children. She wanted to play with her Dad but he was inside watching a football game drinking from a bottle that was unfamiliar to Suzie.

Suzie wished her Dad wanted to play with her rather than watch his game. Suzie blames herself.

STATION # 4:

Little Bobby loves getting into things and having fun. Bobby asks his Mom and Dad for a snack. His Mom said she would prepare something healthy for him. Bobby ran to the snack cupboard and grabbed a chocolate Viva Puff and a tiny bag of Nacho Doritos.

His parents chuckled at Bobby. His Dad said, "Maybe you can have a healthy snack later?"

A few minutes later Bobby's parents asked him if he would like to go for a walk. Bobby grabbed his shoes from the back door, put them on and ran through the house to the front door leaving mud all over the carpet. His parents commented and said he should have carried his shoes to the door.

Bobby cried. His parents told him not to worry about it. They would clean it up later.
