- 01
Pick one target
Toys into a basket, books onto a shelf. Concrete targets get done; vague requests don't.
- 02
Work alongside them
Show the first action and clean together. The timer marks the period, not a race.
- 03
Stop when it ends
If you promise five minutes, stop after five. This builds trust in the timer.
- 04
Name the win
Even if the room isn't perfect, finishing the timer is the win. Say so.
