Able to say 'No' and 'I don't like it' appropriately
It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.
Please make a minimum donation of £5 to keep the site going. Thank you

Activity/strategy name and materials required | How to do the activity | Key principles for doing the activity and comments |
---|---|---|
Make choices between desirable and non-desirable things using language appropriately Attractive and non attractive food stuffs | 1. During snack time have crisps/fruit etc on table and raw onion. 2. Offer raw onion. Model shaking head and saying 'no' and 'I don't like it' when raw onion is offered. Praise child for making appropriate refusal and then offer more attractive food. Model saying 'yes' appropriately. 3. When the child is used to this activity can you offer an unattractive food and wait for a short time before offering an attractive food? 4. Incorporate another adult in this activity who can model accepting and rejecting in a good way and a bad way. Can the child comment on the adult's behaviour and say if it is good or bad accepting/rejecting behaviour. | Extend this skill to everyday experiences as the child gets better at it e.g. in the dinner hall, when choosing library books/videos. |
