Description: Working with children calls for a different kind of listening. In this lively workshop, Berg demonstrates how solution-focused principles translate into play, scaling tools, compliments, family sessions, and creative exercises that engage even very young clients. Through vivid case examples, she shows how to involve parents, shift attention to strengths, and use simple materials to help children articulate solutions in their own language.
Syllabus Description: Working with children requires adaptations of techniques that depend on language skills. This workshop will describe useful language techniques that help to work with children briefly.
