Hi parents,


I have developed some mobility issues that make wrestling difficult. Keeping track of both my daughter and my injury during wrestling sessions wasn’t working. 


So, I’ve been giving her sessions that start small and stay small but bring big discharge. I notice how she initiates a session. Usually it’s when I set a limit or when something in our daily life annoys her—for example, when I want to be alone in the bathroom. I’ve invited her to slam the bathroom door as I open it, and we do this again and again. I’ve also covered my eyes and screamed and pretended that “something is there.” 


Basically, I look for the small thing that will lead to a session and then just make that thing happen repeatedly. When it looks like her raging will damage me or the house (or is more than I have attention for), I get one of these small things going. Sometimes my daughter will ask, “Can we play the door game?” which means she’s asking for a session.
