“My daughter started a few weeks ago. We've been enjoying it but haven't put it into practice... until now. Earlier this evening her brother was annoying her by chasing and poking at her with a stuffed animal, and she didn't want to hurt him and was trying really hard to run away. Normally I would step in and get them to stop running around the house. But for the first time, I was able to do something different. I said, "stand in the center of the livingroom. If he comes at you, do a take down and restrain him. Protect his head." Something definitely clicked and she did it perfectly. From there, as her brother was trying to escape, all I had to do was say "get side control," "put him in your guard," and "back pack!" and "maintain control until he's tired." During the entire thing, I did not have to separate them or discipline anyone, she protected her little brother's head. I was able to remain at the dinner table and eat peacefully the entire time.”
