I'm a brand new child therapist and I'm really glad I found this site. I am seeing my first child clients this week and next and had no idea how to interact and get them to open up. ( my main experience has been with adults) I love the ideas you offered. Thank You Mychal Love Registered Marriage and Family Therapy Intern.
