Blue, Bear, and Maya all have a great time playing outside!

I make a habit of calling each of them to me when they’re in the middle of playing. This gets them in the habit of dropping whatever they are doing and immediately running to me. Remember to be the treat – coming to you is always going to be more rewarding than anything they’re doing.

When they get to me, they sit and each one gets lots of attention and praise! Good girl Bear! Yay Blue! Good Maya!

After that, they can go back to playing! Being a part of playtime shows them they can still have fun and be relaxed, knowing their leader is always looking over them.
