COLORS
This color is Liam's favorite color
Red! ( I think? if Counselor Bryan is wrong, he gets 500 points taken)
This shape is the same shape as a slice from a pizza
A Triangle! Yes, yes of course!
This is something that you can build. They are little blocks that you build atop eachother.
LEGOS!
This is what I do when I am corrected by my mom..
I run away and hide.. sometimes under things like desks and tables...
..I know.. I have to work on that!
Repeat after Counselor Bryan:
Sometimes life gets boring
its important to stay alert
even during the most boring of times
staying alert means paying attention
when we pay attention we learn!
Yeahhh!
Repeat after your Mother:
My mother cares about me
she wants me to succeed in life.
She thinks I can succeed
as long as I learn to listen more
and ask for help when I need help
Thanks.
These colors remind me of Fall time
red
orange
yellow
This shape is the shape of my bed...
its not really a square, its a ...
Rectangle! ahh yes! Yes, of course!
a little game that I like to play towards the end of my counseling session with Bryan at his office.
hide and go seek!
1. when you don't get what you want
2. when you are being told "no" and possibly given an explanation.
What is a coping skill you use when you are upset?
deep breathing
taking a short walk
getting a glass of water
talking to mom or a trusted adult
these colors remind me of spring
green
pink
white
This is the shape of my head.
its not exactly a circle, but an o..
oval! yes, why right-o
This truly beautiful thing is colored black and red, and goes pretty darn fast. It has four wheels at the moment, but some day it will be two wheels, and go even faster.
My brand new bike, silly!
A. taking deep breaths
B. talking to a trusted adult
C. stuffing my face full of candy
stuffing my face full of candy may feel good in the moment, but it will lead to a lifetime of really bad teeth, high blood sugar levels causing greater mood swings than I already have, and obesity. So no thank you.
This is the color my face makes when I am mad
red
Do you think artists study shapes?
ABSOLUTELY! Every thing on this planet are made of different shapes, and the really GREAT artists see the shapes that make up the things in the world and create realistic, beautiful artwork from them.
This is a ridiculous song that I sing before I eat really yummy cake, or also when I am washing my hands.
What should you do?
Your mom is working hard in her room, and you just finished school work, and pretty bored and hungry. Should you:
1. crawl into a corner and try to go to sleep
2. start yelling at your mom and telling her to make you a sandwich
3. Go to the kitchen, open the fridge and make 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches- one for you and her. After eating, you continue to work and have a nice peaceful day with your mom.
2.
just kidding, 3 OF COURSE!
Coping skills:
1. get me very energetic
2. calm me down
3. are a waste of my time
2. They calm me down, so I can be the best kid ever!
These are ALL the colors that make up my shirt that I, Liam, am wearing today.
....great.
these are the shapes of Counselor Bryan's favorite cereal, apple jacks..
OOOOOOOOOOOO circles! OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
These are some of my favorite things.. EXCEPT:
1. VIDEO GAMES, MAGIC TRICKS, BIKES
2. BIKES, MAGIC TRICKS, CANDY AND SIMON-SAYS
3. CANDY, LEGOS, BULLIES AND BIKES
3, OF COURSE! BULLIES ARE THE WORST.
1. cover my face with my hands, scream, cry, and throw things
2. laugh, throw things, throw my arms around, and yell
3. say "yes mom.. I am doing this because you want me to.. even if I don't really want to."
3. .. of course it is always ok to share how you feel about when asked to do something. Sometimes when we give a little, we get a little back.
..for 500 extra points, can you think of a time when you gave a little, and got something back that you really liked?
How many coping skills can you think of in the next two minutes?
