Tips.
- Board games that promote cooperation and laughter. Try to avoid ones that are too strong on competition.
- As an alternative to role playing games, try online chess. Seems quite old-fashioned but this promotes thinking ahead and emotional regulation, especially when compared to role playing, first person shooter games.
- Take regular time-out breaks for both parents and children.
- Start a garden using seedlings or seeds. Photograph it each day, recording it growth.
