Open ended
question

Jodie L. Jones

Most kids like doing
things that are
distracting to eye
contact when talking
about things, I’ve
noticed.

Next time try to have
an activity already out.
Choose one that
promotes conversation
instead of
concentration. Puzzles
work well with some
kids but I don’t think
they work well with this
client. It’s too hard for
him to open up.

P: I have church on

Sunday,something
interesting as such

W: That sounds cool!do
you participate in any
activities there
P: Actually,yes.Iplaythepiano.

Genuineness

always wanted to try.
p: Have you tried getting any
lessons
W: no.

Building rapport

W:I think life is like a
game,we move in circles
sometimes we lose
sometimes we win but

also allowed.
C: Yeah.
(keep trying to win )
W: So there wasn’t
anything that happened
this week that made mad? I
bet there was at least one
thing.
C; Well there was one
thing. A boy from my school
called me a weirdo.

Use of nonverbal
communication

convince to be part of
a conversation, but
you’ll get better at
maneuvering the
discussion over time.

Fostering dialogue
This may be too
complex for this client.
I don’t think that idea
worked well with M
