Hi, this is Janet Lansfury.

Welcome to Unruffled.

Today I'm going to be answering a question from a parent who really has her hands full.

She's got three kids, four and a half, two, and three months.

She describes the two-year-old as nonverbal, and she's wondering how to sports cast disagreements

between him and his older brother without making false assumptions about what he's thinking.

And I'm going to take this question further into a longer description about sports casting,

what it is, and how it helps with sibling and peer struggles.

Okay, here's the email that I received.

Hi Janet, thank you your podcast has helped me to stay calm in some situations I know I wouldn't

have before.

I've noticed that my two boys usually solve their problems faster and better without my intervention.

Awesome!

What I'm hoping you'll do a podcast on some time is conflict resolution for nonverbal children.

Out of my three kids, ages four and a half, two and three months,

only one is really verbal, and he didn't even start until he was over two and a half years old.

I tried a sports cast disagreements between the older two,

but it's hard when I don't really know what the two-year-old is thinking.

I'm hoping you can give some tips because I'm sure I'll experience similar struggles with the baby

once she starts interacting more with her brothers.

Thanks!

Okay, I'm really happy to hear this podcast has helped this parent stay calm,
