Lesson Takeaways
Communicating:
- Focus on how can you work with what they’re doing to get communication
- Reward whatever they give you, incorporate anything from sound, eyes, finger, position and consider it all communication.
- All we want is for them to get the idea that their sounds, their behavior are saying something to us, are being our leader of action
- If they did not participate then go somewhere else with it, open up your thinking and ask yourself, what else might they know?
Interacting:
- Focus on interaction but use communication tools
- Don’t be blinded by what your child can do, your mind is generally closed, try to look for clues, part of you wants to believe and part of you doesn’t
- Don’t only do the thing that always works, start there but add something different
Bonding:
- Can use songs, be the loving adoring coach that sees possibility as a parent
- No pressure, just be there with them, tell them why you’re here
