Inspired by her love of Princesses, I created a quick mockup of my vision for her new board.
And, here is my first quick iteration of her Princess Board:
And, she hopped right on to it, loving it! Although, she pointed out, that it does not look like my Vision mockup! Just like a typical customer not understanding iterative development! And, a very proud moment as a father, I saw her cleaning up her room and then the living room! I knew I had a new card called Clean Up, but, we did not talk about it at all. I looked at her board, and Clean Up was in the Doing column. She even demoed her room, asking me to see how clean it was. I am still a bit teary eyed....
Never underestimate the power of clarity as the essential ingredient in developing a self-directed child. And this is what visual boards do.Without having to tell her what to do and when to do it, I think I am out of a job!
