One word, one job, whoever says it
Before adding more cues, this example gives the household one small task to agree on. It comes from situation 7, “Who says what: one word per thing”.
Same words · Book excerpt
"Off" - four feet on the floor
Do this · Book excerpts
Write the nine words where everyone can see them.
Give each word one action and no second job.
Have the youngest person say each word out loud.
Agree what nobody says at all.
Avoid this · Book excerpt
“Saying "Down" for lying down and for getting off.”
These are selected lines about agreeing on language, not a complete lesson for teaching “Off”. The full situation also covers prompting, rewards, signs of progress and when to ask a trainer for help.
