Start My Task

Use this when your child is stuck, avoiding, overwhelmed, or cannot begin even when they know what to do.

Use this when you see:
  • “I can’t”
  • Refusal
  • Staring
  • Walking away
  • Too many steps
  • Needs help starting
Say this first
“This feels big. We are only starting with one tiny step.”
Tap one step. Start smaller than you think.

Do this first

Shrink the task to one action.
Touch the paper
Open the app
Pick one item
Write one word
Why: task analysis breaks work into smaller teachable steps.

Mini First Then

“First one tiny step. Then break.”
1 First
→
2 Then
Why: First Then makes the first step visible and gives the child an ending.

Try this

“I’ll do the first one with you.”
Do one together
Model beside them
Point to first step
Then fade help
Why: prompting helps the child access the skill, then support can fade.

Tiny Timer

“Work for a tiny time. Then break.”
2:00
Ready
Why: short work feels safer than endless work. Start tiny and build from success.
