client may be so focused on the activity that he or she is more honest because of the distraction.
C. gives children the authority to be who they are without being told to grow up, which is a common instruction from parents and teachers
D. 1. When a counselor is observing a child at play, she is experiencing and participating in the emotional lives of children rather than just "reliving situational happenings." 2. Counselors can respond to the child in "real-time" rather than discussing incidents that are now "historic," such as past episodes of aggression, etc.
E. to help children remove obstacles from their path.
F. 1. Write the problem on the balloon. 2. Discuss possible solutions for the problem. 3. Have the client choose which solution will be tried. 4. Pop the balloon to signify eliminating the
problem.
G. Instead of intense, symbolic play, the child acts out events related to day-to-day life and shows clear progress in behavior, indicating readiness to terminate counseling.
H. 1. If the therapist does not feel that he or she can be warm and accepting toward a child 2. If the therapist cannot say that he or
she likes the child
I. Using mandalas and coloring can help children that have difficulty concentrating to go inside themselves and focus.
