[quote=Anonymous]Asking her if she had a good time open the door to focusing on what she didn't get to do. Try amending your question to focus solely on what she had fun doing. Some examples: "What was your favorite part about today/outing?" "What did you have the most fun with?" "I saw you smiling/laughing when you were ____. I'd love to hear about that." You might need to start things off with your own fun moment..."I had a lot of fun doing ____. Susie, what did you have fun doing?" If she tries to answer with what she didn't get to do or didn't like redirect her to the original question. Let her know that after you guys talk about the fun parts you can talk about the parts you wished you could have done. Done consistently she'll learn to redirect some of her focus...or at least know you expect her to share something fun before she lists her complaints. [/quote]
