Sock Wrestling

3/23/2020

4 Comments

 
Sock wrestling is great for rainy days when kids still need rough and tumble play. The concept is all the members of the family have on socks, and you try to steal as many as possible from everyone else before time is up. Winner has the most socks at the end. I usually pair the 5-4-3-2-1 mindfulness activity at the end of this rough and tumble play to help everyone come back down.

Rules:
  • You CANNOT stand up at any point or you forfeit a sock. You CAN crawl or scoot to get around.
  • No tickling
  • You must stop when the timer is up.
  • If your family or child has trauma history, make a rule that if anyone gets scared or uncomfortable they can say stop, and everyone immediately has to stop.
  • I open the floor to other rules from the kids at this point, and they usually say "no punching" or "no biting" (ie, things that I would hope would be a given) but some kids need to hear them affirmed out loud.
  • Some people like to limit the space you can use, like making a rule that the game stays in the living room or basement, etc.

What house rules did you end up using? Drop us a note in the comments and let us know what works for your crew.

Do you suspect that a partner, relative, friend, or co-worker is gaslighting you? Gaslighting revolves around making someone question their reality and lived experiences and is a type of emotional abuse.

Some examples would be if your partner, relative, or friend said a statement to the effect of: “That never happened” (and you have proof it did), “I did that because I love you so much,” “You’re overreacting,” etc.

Gaslighting can be incredibly confusing, disorienting, and hurtful—and sometimes it’s even hard to know when it’s happening.
