Improving Aishna's cooperation during daily tasks
Overview
Gaining cooperation is about 3 things: 1.) Balancing firmness with respect, 2.) making sure they have the tools to do what you ask (ie, handling boring tasks, handling transitions, etc.) and 3.) handling Yuck
Proactively, it is important to teach the tools she may not have (like engaging her in boring tasks) and making deposits into emotional needs accounts so that you have more influence over her.
In the moment, use “Calm, Connect, Correct” to motivate better behavior.
Calm = you are confident and not controlled by your emotions
Connect = you see the situation from her perspective… why is she not doing what you ask?
Correct = give her the tools she needs to succeed. Sometimes that means re-iterating the boundary and letting her release Yuck.
