- A trick to keep a toddler focused and engaged on the task: give them faux agency.
- Not: "Are you ready to get dressed for school?"
- "Do you want to pick the red shirt or the blue shirt?"
- You take for granted that the thing we're doing is getting ready for school,
- But because they have a choice, they feel engaged, and go with the flow.
- Agency in the small, but not in the large.
- The agency is hollow.
- They feel like you are exercising agency but it's almost entirely superficial.
- I wonder if that will happen more and more for adults in AI-powered tools.
- "Do you want the red drink or the blue drink?"
