Choose one small task
Describe a behavior you can observe, such as turning toward you after hearing a name cue. Record the setting, distractions and reward. Use the reward-based foundations guide to prepare comfortable practice.
Record responses, not labels
“Turned toward me on three of four attempts” describes an observation. “Stubborn” does not explain what happened. Note breaks or discomfort and simplify the task when needed. A short count alone does not measure wellbeing or long-term progress.
Choose the next practice
Choose one small change from the record, such as reducing distractions. Seek professional support for fear, pain or persistent difficulty. Print the record before leaving; notes reset on reload and are not sent.
