Hi everyone,I need some ideas how to answer the following scenarios...Thank you

1.Brendan age three,does not want to sit at the table to eat his lunch.You have to asked him twice to come to the table.What choices could you offer Brendan that would encourage him to cooperate with you?





2.Jessie age 5 years is busy cutting up paper on a table you require for a cooking activity.What choices could you provide that would encourage her to cooperate with you?

My ideas: I could offer Jessie another table so that she can finish cutting the paper or ask i could ask her if she want to help me preparing the cooking activities.

That is what I would say to Jessie too. I would add that if she did not want to move to another table then she could either do the cooking or something else and then when the table was free again she could come back and meanwhile you would keep her work in a safe place for her.

What would you say to Brendan?
