Has someone ever tried to keep giving you something that you didn’t want or like? Think for a second about that feeling. We’re you a bit annoyed that they kept trying to push the item on you? Did you want to be around them? Your child is the same way.
Pairing involves a child associating you with things that they like through positive reinforcement. When you provide them with items/activities that they like, they will want to be around you and be excited about learning from you. They will also be more apt to try other new things that you would like for them to try.
So, what are your child’s favorites? If you don’t know, your consultant/family trainer may be able to assist you in figuring this out.
