Listen "Am I Coaching? [Part II: Observation, Discussion & Problem Solving]"
Episode Synopsis
As promised here is the handout "Delayed Response" I reference in my story when I was observing an incidental caregiver/child interaction. In this episode I go through these these reflective statements regarding Observation, Discussion and Problem Solving:
*I initiate a discussion about the family's priorities, needs and plans for the visit.
*I have reflective conversations to help the caregivers think through what they know, have already tried or want to change.
*I observe caregiver-child interactions and family routines and activities whenever I can.
*I begin by specifically defining the problem.
*I collaborate with the caregiver to solve the problem by bouncing ideas back and forth.
*I problem-solve with the caregiver in the moment while observing a routine, activity or interaction.
*After problem solving, I let the caregiver decide which strategy to try with the child.
