The Two-Choices Script

Ends the power struggle without giving in.

The Two-Choices Script

  1. Step 1 — Decide the thing that is NOT a choice. (Shoes go on.)
  2. Step 2 — Offer two choices inside it. "Blue shoes or black shoes?"
  3. Step 3 — Both answers get you what you needed. Never offer a third.
  4. Step 4 — No answer in 5 seconds? "I'll pick this time. You pick next time."
  5. Step 5 — Stay flat and kind. No re-explaining.

Kids fight for control. Give them control over the small part.
