Ignore it. They can figure it out on their own.

Discuss with him what happened and reprimand, to show disapproval.

Let it go – it was a children’s fight.

Get mad and scratch him to give him a sense of what the pain is like

Say it’s okay but are saddened by the loss of your vase

Reprimand him for lying. You tell him had he said the truth – about how the vase broke – no reprimands would have been necessary.

You don’t want to deal with it at this point. Maybe you’ll mention it later at a more appropriate time.

Punish him for both lying and breaking the vase

Let it go this time. She must have been busy.

Let the teacher deal with it.

Punish her and give her extra work to do

Help her establish a checklist and ways to remember so she won’t forget anymore.

Laugh and give him a stack of papers for next time.

Turn your back on it.

Get him to wash it off and the next art session will be closely monitored.

Get upset, wash it off yourself, and get rid of all types of crayons.

Have a big party and shower the children with gifts and bribes

Think that’s good; friends are problems altogether

Have a discussion with her about what friendship is all about and enroll her in an activity where she’ll make some friends.

Leave her alone. She’ll figure it out someday.

Roll over and go to sleep.

Get up, comfort her, and tuck her in her own bed

Yell at her to get back into her own bed.

Let her be. It’s nice that she loves you and both of you will sleep the rest of the night.
