I think that the color lessons are not per se for asking for a cupcake in a specific colour. It is a somewhat common therapeutic approach to teach the concept of differentiating, understanding categories extending vocabulary, Staying focused on a task and so on. It also helps with fine motor skills (at least the version with the clothes-pegs).So now she can pick what color of cup cake? And that was the reason for all the color lessons? Wow.. that will really get her far in life. Why are they always encouraging her to eat candy, cookie, cake, cup cake..etc etc.
What interests me is that Ab will only do stuff when she directly benefits from it and that she pre plans outcomes. Lesson? Scrolling and random chance. Dad will fix it when I'm taking to long/the answer is wrong. And he will never follow through when I'm wiggly enough or when I make enough of a scene. Reward? I better bring my A game. I won't get anything when I Dad does it, I have to do it on my own to get the cupcake. Suddenly it works.
Despite the constant chaos and confusion around Ab and her being stressed out or on her own a lot, she runs at least part of the show.
