[quote=Anonymous]OP - one thing I have found helpful in working with foster teens is to give them advance notice when you want to talk about something serious. For instance, you could say, "I'd like to talk about getting you to a therapist. So on Friday, we will sit down and talk about that." Giving them advanced notice allows them to get mentally ready to discuss something hard. Just bringing it up can seem like you're bombarding them, and the child might shut down. A little advanced notice goes a long way. [/quote]
