Directions:
Talk about a time when your child was disappointed because he couldn't get something that he wanted right away. Say, "Max was really disappointed when his train trip had to be interrupted because of the broken tracks. Did you ever feel like Max? What made you feel better?"
Explain that one of the ways that Max's friends helped him feel better was by playing a game of Luz Roja, Luz Verde or "Red Light, Green Light." Ask your child if he would like to play a game with you.
Invite your child's friends, siblings, or other family members to play along with you. To play, you should be "It" for the first round. Line everyone up. Then stand away from them at the "finish line". Explain that the goal is to get from the starting line to the finish line. When you say, "Green Light," everyone can walk to you. When you say "Red Light," they have to stop. The first person to reach you will be the next "It."
