Using 'informative' instead of 'directional' statements.

[Heaven]

It is hard isn't it Kim! I haven't done very well yet, lol. It's hard coming up with how to phrase it! Going to try really hard today.

So great it's made such a difference! I'll let you know how I go!

*star* I think you can do this but still model asking for what you want. Like it's ok to ask if you can have an apple, etc, it's just more the 'telling people what to do' statements that you try to change. I don't know if that made sense. In the article it says "You may talk about yourself (e.g., “I don’t want to be late for school,” “I can help you with your shoes,” “I expect you to be ready by the time the big hand is on the 3.”)."
