Waiting With Two Clear Choices
Use two visual or spoken choices while a child waits for a turn, snack, or activity.
Try it like this
- While the child is waiting, show two simple options such as book or block, sit or stand, banana or water. Name each choice slowly and repeat the same pair for a few days.
Parent tip
Waiting often feels easier when the child knows exactly what the two available options are.
