You mean .. taking her out of the room, ask her, come back into the room.... Now that would be putting focus on it.... I doubt that any parent of a child with CI would even consider that...
In our case, if a family member or friend has never seen a CI and is interested in knowing more about Lotte's CI, we explain to Lotte that he/she wants to know more, and ask if that is OK.. We don't drag her away from her activities for that; we would take it in the moment...
We would never consider it with someone who's a stranger to her. She would have to be comfortable with the person to whom SHE is going to show it too..
She can explain more and more and in time we will let her explain how the CI works.. That will be a great milestone..
