Ziel

To help parents reflect on their media-related parenting habits and discover constructive ways to respond to challenging situations.

Schritte

1

Introduce the idea of role-play and reassure participants that this is a safe, supportive space.

2

Present a scenario card (e.g. "Parent asks child to turn off the TV to help set the table; child throws a tantrum").

3

Invite two volunteers to act out the scene, improvising naturally. Alternatively, you and another teacher can act out the first scenario to break the ice.

4

After the role-play, guide a brief group reflection:

  • What happened in the scene?
  • How did the parent react?
  • Were there other possible responses?
  • How did media use influence the situation?
5

Optionally, repeat the scene ("rewind and replay") to try out different reactions or strategies.

6

Repeat with several scenarios. Depending on the group size and setting:

  • Two parents can act out each scene in front of the group, or
  • Each "parent pair" receives their own scenario to act out in smaller spaces.
7

Encourage parents to switch roles and explore alternative responses.

Tipps

Scenario ideas:

  1. TV vs. Chores - The parent asks the child to turn off the TV and come help set the table. The child refuses and throws a tantrum.
  2. Screen Time Limits - The child wants to keep playing on the tablet even though their screen time is over. The parent tries to enforce the limit.
  3. Morning Rush - The child is watching cartoons during breakfast and doesn't want to get dressed or leave for kindergarten. The parent becomes increasingly stressed.
  4. Background Media - The parent is scrolling on their phone while the child is trying to get their attention. The child starts acting out.
  5. Public Setting - The family is in a waiting room. The child is bored and loud. The parent gives them a smartphone to calm them down but later feels unsure about this solution.
  6. Influencer Pressure - The child says they want a new toy because they saw it in a YouTube video. The parent is surprised by the request and unsure how to respond.
