If anyone here has any experience with toddlers, I need some advice! I'm a speech therapist and I recently made the switch from working with school aged kids to early intervention (five and under). When I worked with my older kids motivating them was easy enough...we got out a fun game or they worked for some candy and that was that!
Toddlers, though, that is a whole different ballgame! I feel like no matter how fun the activity is they still getted locked into the whole 'let me show you how independent I am' thing, by which I mean everything is "No...no...NOOOOO!" This is difficult because in a speech therapy session you pretty much have to be telling them what to do the entire time, as they're there to work on certain goals. Any mommies/experienced sitters here who have any thoughts?
