Isaac: Can I read another book to Alexander? Me:Yes, you can read any of the yellow books, but please put them back in the same place when you are done. Isaac: can I put them in a different pile? The already read pile? Me: Yes, you can. Thank you for asking first. *Followup to the spoon conversation. Alexander is compliant. He has experienced less inconsistency with limits and has readily grasped how to ask for changes. Isaac has struggled. I cannot and will not tell him do what is said because that is a lesson I feel would alter what is a good skill and trait. He typically does have a really good idea or addition. He has simply lacked the social skills, language and impulse control to communicate effectively. Change happens easiest when we choose the change because it makes sense.
