I like to give Eva Mei positive reinforcement, but maybe I'm going overboard. A friend of mine said that in Montessori schools they don't praise children for things they should already be doing, but Eva Mei is playing catch-up and so I'm saying a lot of "good jobs" and "
Yays". Today we were at the store and Eva had to go potty. Since I was in there with her I took the opportunity to go too. As soon as she was done I sat down and told her she had to pull up her own pants. She did it and I say, "good job." Then I stood up and pulled up my pants and she said, "good job." I told her "thank you," and she just smiled and flushed the toilet.
