Avoiding Not Getting Confused with Negatives

So recently Erika has advanced to the part where you can ask her a negative question ("You don't want to go to the park?") and she can answer it. Unfortunately, she answers it straight up; that is, she says "yes" to indicate that she doesn't want to go to the park and "no" to indicate that actually she does. So it always takes me a second to figure that out. I wonder how confusing it'll be once she figures out that you answer the question "no" to indicate that you agree with the statement about not wanting to go to the park.
