But we tell the story in the book of using a strategy called Think Out Loud to help siblings learn how to play together more peaceably.

And the story is that there was a little boy that I was working with, who was about five at the time, who had a two-year-old sister.

He liked to build with blocks.

And while he was in the constructive phase of his development, he would get square blocks and triangle blocks and put them together.

And he'd be building car ramps and things like this.

His sister, who's too not intent on destroying his life, although that's what he believed his sister was really trying to do, right?

She's trying to ruin my builds.

You know, I hate her.

She would come in and take that crucial triangle piece that would allow the car to drive down the ramp.

Without that, that's not a car ramp anymore.

So she'd come and take it, and she'd, you know, just be trying to engage her brother.

She just wanted to be a part of what he was doing.

And they're at very different developmental phases.

So I taught this kid how to start thinking out loud.

And what I would do is just very simple.

I would just say,

what I thought he was thinking as he was playing.

So imagine a thought bubble over your kid's head.

And you're practicing this in play, but it starts to carry over into those situations where you really need it, where it's really gonna matter.

I would say it looks like you're building a ramp.
