Session Spotlight
||SESSION SPOTLIGHT||
While working with a young client, I used the song “Everything Is Awesome” from the Lego Movie.
This song is great when discussing the idea of teamwork. I asked my client the following questions..
• When have you been part of a team?
• why are things better when we work as a team?
His response blew my mind and was an amazing example of how the brain works.
- instead of explaining his answers directly, he picked up several pillows and carried them across the room. At first I thought he was distracted and ignoring my question. He proceeded to tell me about ants and how they carry food on their backs. He said - if an ant is carrying something heavy, the other ants will come help to make it easier.
We then continued to talk about ants and related the conversation to teamwork in school and with family.
I think it is so amazing how his brain connected the idea of teamwork in a whole other concept that MADE SENSE.
I love my job.
