Some coaching options: reminding parent to take child's lead and it's okay if it isn't right at this moment during play. There are also other opportunities for giving correct information throughout play.
Parent's haven't made much progress, seem tired and exhausted, and say they haven't practiced this week.
What are some ways to approach this?
There are more than one way, and depends on the clients of course. Some general ideas:
- Discuss the stressors/barriers in tx
- Setting smaller goals (e.g. practice just 2x this week)
- Setting up parent-only calls (might need more one-on-one support)
-Normalizing & validating
What would you code?
Child: "What time is it?"
Parent: "What time is it?"
Question.
That can be confusing when a question is asked back. Option to coach parents to reflect or describe using "you're asking what time is it"
True or False:
For CDI phase, it's okay if the child throws or breaks toys as long as the kiddo is leading the play.
