Julia said: “I cleaned the bathroom and washed the floor”, she never mentioned playing. When I started attending some family events at Julia's house, I noticed that it almost seemed expected that she would do certain jobs in the family. Her parents would say she enjoys doing things around the house, as they beamed with pride. As a teacher and provider, I felt it was necessary to encourage Julia to play and have fun, even though she was always the one volunteering to assist the teachers. We solved this problem by allowing other children to choose work and share responsibilities in the classroom. Julia was saddened by this, thinking that she was not doing a responsible job and would be replaced. Instead, we convinced her that she had done a great job and wanted her to demonstrate to the other children how to do their job. He was thrilled to be one again
