The Back Door Approach


We have had victory with Chloe saying the word “please”…..sort of.  But we had to go a back route to get there.  I started by having her sign the word “please,” which she has been doing since she was very little.  The trick with this was for me to NOT verbally say the word “please.”  I just had to say “do this” and demonstrate for her to sign the word for please.  Once she was doing that for me, I was able to reintroduce the word “please” with the sign.  She doesn’t say the word yet, but she signs and allows me to say it. And voila!....you have a toddler who is using her manners again.
