Lesson Takeaways
- At any time you can stop and switch between the 3 categories, if you don’t have time or it’s not working out
- As a parent, you have a lot of time so you can reinforce or plant a moment throughout the day without having it have to be this solid span of time
- They made the world a better place because they spoke: makes them want to communicate VS them thinking ”I have to do what she wants so i can do what I want”
- It can be simple: it was the ask to come this way
- Build on approximations
- Build, grow, give space, respond immediately
- If you ask a question even if you didn’t mean to, give them space to show a skill that they may or may not have, we don’t want them to think that if i ask a question i don’t care if you answer
- Spontaneous language is easier than requested
- They see you believing and communicating and messaging in a way that is inviting
Interacting:
- Doing it periodically for short bursts that doesn’t add the pressure for them to continually respond = that reinforces it’s fun to interact with me
- Use natural consequences
- Children are meant to control parents, teach them how to do it in a healthy way
