Preparing a 'Yes' Space at Home
A calm, child-sized corner where everything is safe to touch builds independence and cuts down on daily power struggles.
Start small
You don't need a whole room. One low shelf, a soft rug and a few well-chosen materials are enough to begin.
Less is more
Offer six to eight activities at a time, each on its own tray or basket. Rotate items every week or two based on what your child is using.
Child-height everything
Hooks for coats, a low mirror, a small stool by the sink. When children can reach what they need, they do more for themselves — and feel proud doing it.
