Document Summary

Establishing meaningful contacts with children and youth (maier, 2000) Body comfort: supportive spatial arrangement with clients as well as a sense of anchorage to make them feel welcome. Predictiveness: unpredictiveness leads to anxiety due to ambiguity, let client know how long, for what, and in which way one wants to interact in order to ensure predictiveness. To put one"s face in: invest energy to make client experience that attention in directed to them, interesting in appearance, have items ready to engage client, come across as person not worker. Connectiveness: pauses in verbal input, in the exchange of eye contact, and in the nature of physical and spatial approachment (giving client time to get comfortable) Dealing with response rather than input: address response to the input rather than pursuing one"s own verbal or action statement, not focusing on what they don"t do which only reflect the observer"s own wishes and frustration.
