This week's parenting class was all about giving commands. Or more politely stated, how to make your directions more effective.
The moral of the story this week was that when you repeat the same command 5, 6, 7 and more times, it is ineffective.
The first steps to remedy this are giving less commands. This is partically done by establishing routines, like we talked about last week. If they know the routine and praise them every step of the way, we wouldn't have to give so many commands are parents.
Another method is to give them choices. For example, do you want to wash your face or do you want mommy/daddy to do it?
Next week we'll be learning how to follow through on our commands.
