Sibling Playdates
A video about problem-solving and sharing between siblings.
Julia and Sam can’t agree on who gets to play with Superpup Rose! Watch the video together, then talk about how Superhero Mega Mommy came to the rescue of Julia and Sam.
Ask, “Can you think of a time when it was hard to share? How did you—or someone else—help solve the problem?” You can also take turns answering the questions, “If you were a superhero, what would be your superpower? What superpower would you most like to have?” (Julia and Sam’s mom said that her superpowers were caring and understanding!)
