[quote=Anonymous]Totally normal. We moved through any tasks like putting on shoes much more quickly when I made it a race. Either racing me to get shoes on or timing DS to see how fast he could do it. He loved a challenge LOL. Also works to use "when then" statements for getting thru tasks before doing something they want to do. "When you put on your shoes, then we can go to the park." (Obviously doesn't work when you need to get out the door to do something they don't want to do.) But you can also sweeten the deal sometimes by saying that you can stop for a muffin or something before school but only if she has her shoes on by x time. etc etc etc. Basically, try to make the mundane more fun.[/quote]
