Kids are on an emotional roller-coaster every minute of the day and in the moment 100% of the time especially when it comes to playing pretend, so they make great "scene partners."

I try to reason with them and encourage them, motivate and not dictate; mold them into capable human beings. Hard as I try, sometimes, pretending is the only way I can get them to do just about anything that isn't their idea.
