She will have in her mind what she'd like to do. And when you suggest/ask the opposite, her mind "may" wonder ... "but what about this other way or other thing"
She will need time to transition. Normal kids need time to transition. Gifted kids depending on how "deeply" they are attached to the current activity will need some time to transition to another activity or thought/idea, etc. Not saying this is necessarily the case with your child per se, but lots of kids seem to need this. Actually normal kids really do need transition time ... all the way to upper primary years, I think. Ok, I admit it -- I need transition time.
We loved the "you read to me, I read to you" series. My little one wouldn't read on her own because then wouldn't mommy stop reading at bed time?
So, our situation was quite different.
