Tip Tuesday! ๐ŸŒฟ
If you ask your child to do something and they instantly refuse, donโ€™t repeat the instruction louder โ€” offer a โ€œtiny choiceโ€ instead.
Children are far more likely to cooperate when they feel a sense of control.
Instead of:
โ€œPut your shoes on now.โ€
Try:
โ€œDo you want to put your shoes on sitting down or standing up?โ€
or
โ€œWhich shoe first โ€” red or blue?โ€
Tiny choices donโ€™t spoil children โ€” they reduce resistance by giving their nervous system a bit of autonomy. Especially true for ND kids who can feel backed into a corner by sudden demands.
Give it a try today and tell me what choice worked ๐Ÿ˜„
