Recognize what you want to see:
Staying calm and feeling confident as a parent.
Use the skill:
Calmly tell your child exactly what to do, then wait. For example, “Please go to the car for school.” Or, “Please brush your teeth now.”

Purpose:
When you "calmly tell your child what to do, then wait," it makes it easier for your child to know how to listen. It also makes it clear that you are in charge and that this is an important task.
