🌟 HBC Tip of the Week #3: Offer Choices 🌟
Many challenging behaviors happen when children feel like they have no control over what’s happening around them. One simple way to increase cooperation is to offer choices throughout the day.
Instead of:
❌ “Put on your shoes.”
Try:
✅ “Do you want to put on this shoe or this shoe first?”
Instead of:
❌ Choosing their cup, snack, or toy for them.
Try:
✅ Offering two options and letting them decide.
Giving choices helps children:
💜 Feel included in decision-making
💬 Practice communication skills
🌱 Build independence and confidence
😊 Increase cooperation during daily routines
This week’s challenge:
Offer your child at least 3 choices today. They can be small choices—what cup to use, which book to read, or what toy to play with. Small choices can make a big difference!
What choices does your child love making? Tell us below! 👇
