A question used in fieldwork becomes a home trial

SHORT SOURCE EXCERPT
“I start using the question tool as soon as we get back to San Francisco.”
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BOOK

After describing parents using questions in place of commands, the Raising Rosy subsection shows Doucleff trying the approach herself. A sunscreen disagreement supplies a concrete encounter; a later question from Rosy is reported as a sign that the child is thinking about the phrase.

THE AUTHOR’S DECISION

The writer exposes the transfer step: an observed tactic becomes a chosen response to her own recurring problem, with the narrator reporting what she takes from the result.

The source in context.

Doucleff identifies the gap left when a book tells parents to stop yelling without showing alternatives. She organizes alternative responses into tools and repeatedly brings them into encounters with Rosy.
