What you've done is to unconsciously reprogram your 2-year old's association to getting dressed. You made it fun. There are a million ways to do this and you've picked something that works.

To get him to leave the park you can use yes sets, compliance sets and binds as well, from the first few lessons. You can also set up a reframe *see lesson 8* to change the association he has to leaving the park. Hi Doris – Thanks SO much for your amazing email yesterday also.

My son loves it when I ask him to tell me the colours so when for example he's having a tantrum cause he doesnt want to put the jacket on I ask him what colour is the jacket and then he'll answer 'red' (with a smile on his face! the tantrum is already gone!) and then I'll shift 'what colour is the jumper?' and so on. After a few seconds he'll forget that he didnt want to put the jacket on. I think the leaving part its a bit harder to do but I think the same technique will help.
