Michigan/Canada
Who is in charge while you are on your trip?
Auntie.
Conflict: Savannah wants to sit next to Rhea at a restaurant or activity -- what does she/Rhea do?

Who is responsible for cleaning up after you?
You! (Me, as in you)
Finish this sentence: "Keep it _____."
"cute"
What should you do with your trash while traveling to/from your destination?
Put in the car trash bag, keep it with your stuff until you get to a trash can, keep in the car's communal trash bag.
Who can you put your hands on?
No one.
Conflict: Savannah gets upset she can't do/have something -- what does she/Rhea do?
Resolution: Savannah - ask "why?". Ask if you can do/have it another time. Do not throw a tantrum.
Rhea - If possible, let Savannah know she can do/have it another time. Remind her to be a big girl and not throw a tantrum. If necessary, threaten to call Mommy if she's getting out of hand.

Put them in the plastic bag Mommy has designated for them.
How are you getting there?
TT is driving you halfway to meet up with Auntie who will take you the rest of the way.
Who can you get loud with?
No one.
Conflict: Rhea acts snappy or rude to Savannah -- what does Savannah/Rhea do?
Resolution: Rhea - realize that you did too much. Apologize to Savannah and do something kind to offset you being mean.
Savannah - tell Rhea she's not being nice and let her know you will tell Mommy. If necessary, send Mommy a Hangout message or let her know when she calls next.
How should you behave when you are away from home?
Like I would if I was around my mom. Show that I am kind and mannered and aware.

Rhea: myself, Savannah, Jas, Adri/Amya.
Conflict: Rhea wants to hang out with Amya alone (without Jas and Savannah) -- what does she/Savannah do?
Resolution: Savannah - let her do that. You understand they want to spend time together. Let them have their space.
Rhea - understand it's okay to hang out with Amya alone but that this is a trip with your sister and little cousin, too. Allow them to hang out with you later on/for a little while.
Scenario: you order food at a restaurant that ends up not tasting very good. What do you do?
Let Auntie know that you don't like it so she can ask the waiter to take it away and order something you will eat.

Clean up your things, brush your teeth, and wash your face.
