Summary:

This lecture begins by reiterating the value of using feedback statements as an alternative to asking questions when counselling children. The lecture then continues by looking at the following strategies: the fruit tree exercise to help the child improve their perception of themselves, challenging unhelpful beliefs to encourage the child to employ more useful thinking processes, the comic strip exercise to help the child choose between adaptive and maladaptive behaviours, the monster-in-me activity to help a child interrupt a tendency to engage in acting out behaviour, and the "stop-think-do" process to help older children interrupt a tendency to engage in unhelpful behaviours.
