14. The examples of Role Play
Role Play A
You are the parent of a six-year-old girl. You are doing your best to bring up your child, and you are moderately strict. The big problem, you feel, is your own parent (your daughter's grandparent), who lives with you. He/she is always spoiling your child. You want this to stop, and you will now complain to your parent. Here are some examples of the behavior that upsets you:
Giving her too much candy & too many sweets in general (cakes, etc.)
Allow her to leave her meals half-eaten.
Letting her watch too much TV
Buying her too many toys
Allowing her to stay up as late as she likes
Buying her whatever she wants in the supermarket
(Think of MORE!)
You remember that your parent was much stricter with YOU when you were a child!
You will speak first. Say, "Mom/Dad, could we talk, please? There's something I've been meaning to discuss with you." Then listen and respond.

15. Role Play B
You are the parent of a grown-up child who has a six-year-old daughter. You live together, and these past six years you have really been enjoying being a grandparent. You feel it's more fun than being a parent, because you have all of the pleasures of parenthood without the heavy responsibilities. In recent years, your philosophy of child-rearing has changed.
You now believe:
Children should enjoy food & eat what they like.
Forcing a child to eat can lead to weight problems.
TV helps develop a child's imagination.
Toys & other playthings are essential to a child's development.
Children have lots of energy, and shouldn't be put to bed too soon.
It's best to let children learn to make decisions (about shopping, etc.)
Right now you son/daughter wants to speak with you. He/she will speak first. Listen and respond.

16. Role-playing games are of great value as a teaching technique
As soon as the mind and mind identification return; you're no longer yourself but a mental image of yourself and you start playing games and roles again to get your ego needs met.
