Give them options. Would you like this shoe or that shoe? Would you like to walk to the car or me piggy back you to the car? Do you want this toothbrush or the other one? Ask in a way where “No” is not an answer because they have to pick and choose.
Don't ask questions, make statements and give choices. Kids don't understand rhetorical questions. If you give a child a chance to say no, they will. Even when you think "no" isn't really a choice. Instead of "do you want to [whatever]?" say "it's time to [whatever]. Do you want [option A] or [option B]"
