Teaching a six year old and a one year old how to play appropriately together. The six year old’s version of playing with her sister involves chasing, spreading out in the middle of the room so that there is nowhere to walk and grabbing at her, putting toys in her face, overwhelming tickling which usually just means tripping her, and constant high pitched squealing and giggling. So far my teaching strategy has been to intervene every time she is doing something to the toddler that I would find irritating if someone was doing it to me. 

I think I’m going to have to lower my standards.
