- Companion
- Adult
Parent briefing · 5 minutes, before they sit
Thank you, please, a food. Both say it.
Hard edges
- Don't police home register.
- Don't generate a toast.
If they say
- “The app is better.”
- The app is not sitting at this table.
Objective
The adult and child use one shared phrase at the table this week.
Ours this week
One phrase is a house fact. An app they use alone is not. Say it badly. Let them correct you.
Big idea
A house that never speaks will not get a language from an app.
