You don’t ask a fussy toddler whether she wants to put her shoes on: you ask which shoe she wants to put on first.

Are we all not the fussy toddler from time to time?
In life we will frequently encounter things that we just plain don’t feel like doing. Taxes. License renewals. Bill payments. They distract us from the things we’d rather be doing, namely: anything else.

Where do we want to start?
This is taught in Education classes- giving the kids a choice without them realizing you’re still controlling it. Works well in parenting too 😉
I believe it!
