Purpose:
-
A redo gives children a chance to do something again in a better way. Before you give a command and consequences, use your other skills and try a redo. Take a moment and a deep breath. Then in a calm and somewhat playful voice, give your child a chance to do what you want them to do.
Remember that a redo is most helpful when you also use the other PC-CARE skills.
