Here’s a perfect example of the magic of SAYing WHAT YOU SEE and adding a CAN DO that a parent shared with me about her 8-year old son:
SWYS: “I asked you to unload the dishwasher, and you’re lying on the couch.”
Child: “My legs are broken.”
SWYS: “Hmm. Your legs are broken.”
CAN DO: “Must be some way you can empty the dishwasher with broken legs.”
Child: “I can hop!”
Much to mom’s amazement, he hopped on one foot over to the dishwasher and put the dishes away!
With SAY WHAT YOU SEE, you can expect the unexpected!
