Background: Mommy wants box pushed towards the wall. Now, go!
Mommy: Can you push the box?
Ellie: Yeah (starts to pull the box towards her, away from the wall)
Mommy: No, the other way. PUSH the box.
Ellie: Yeah (continues to pull the box, but looks at Mommy for approval)
Mommy: That's PULLING the box. Can you PUSH the box?
Ellie: Yeah (walks to the other side of box and pushes, again away from the wall, but looks at Mommy with confusion as though saying "tell me why this method is better?")
Well, you get partial credit for doing exactly what Mommy asked you to do. Mommy has failed in her explanation.
