I have been playing Ratatouille on my XBOX with my son. Initially I was trying to build up the game for him until I realized I was frustrating him by making him play at a level he had not developed to. So I created a new profile for him an started him from scratch. It was a lot more fun for him initially but soon he got to a level he had trouble dealing with. This time I showed him what the next step needed to be but I reverted my actions so he had to pass the challenge.
It has not been easy for me since my patience has been tested. However every so often he overcomes a challenge and it is a very good feeling. If we get to the point he is frustrated we stop the game and come back to it at a later time. Not only is he learning the game and having more fun but I am also learning to be more patient with him. I have to learn to be more positive now and tell him what to do instead of what not to do and give him positive instead of negative reinforcement. These are great opportunities for me to play with him. Now I have to find the same opportunities with my daughter.
