1. Set some ground rules.
No hitting, no yelling, no tormenting, or they don't get to keep playing
together.
-------------

That means if someone is tormented, she lives with that AND she doesn't get
to keep playing.
If someone is being hit or yelled at, he endures that AND loses the
opportunity to play anymore.

I've worked a bit on the rules vs. principles collection, and am going to add
a link to Danielle's article in Life Learning Magazine (but if someone wants
to bring that link here that would be great) and also add Ben Lovejoy's notes
for his presentation at the Live and Learn conference.

Rules are easier for the mom but harder for the child, and they don't help
provide lifelong skills, except the skills involved in being sneaky and getting
around rules.
