My toddler is beginning to understand that people shouldn’t touch Ava. So it was quite joyful when I said “nobody should pet Ava when she’s working” & Little One repeated with a loud chorus of “NO pet Ava! Ava WORKING” about 7 times.
Little One is nearly 2. I often spend all day with toddlers who demonstrate greater understanding of boundaries and impulse control than many adults around a Guide Dog.
