It can be tough for children to feel motivated and try your suggestions. When you invite them in to understand the reasoning behind the things you’re working on, they might be more likely to follow through. Consider using the slide analogy to share about anatomy in a child-friendly, approachable way.
Check out our sample script:
“We want our re**um to be as straight and relaxed as possible to make it easier for p**p to come through, just like the straight slide at the playground.
If our muscles are tight or tense, that can make it harder for p**p to come through, just like the curvy slide.
When we use a stool under our feet, that helps make our re**um straight and relaxed so that p**p comes out easily. Now we are ready!”
