Imagine that your child calls you in the middle of a game with an important question. How do you feel?

Select an answer:

How would they pull me out of concentration – why right now? I find it interesting, but I need to finish mine first. I stop and try to perceive what it wants to tell me. I am ready – maybe he/she wants to surprise me. I get scared that something is wrong.

Your child has a peculiar habit that you don't understand. What do you think about it?

Select an answer:

Children do strange things, they need guidance. Maybe it expresses something, I just don't see it. I'll leave him – if it helps him, that's fine. I am exploring whether there is some pattern behind it. I tend to ignore it – it will probably pass.

When talking to a child who is looking away and silent, what comes to your mind?

Select an answer:

I don't know how to say it – I have to help him. He doesn't want to talk, he probably rejects me. He has the right to be silent; maybe he is searching for words. I am uncertain – I don't know how to behave. Maybe he/she is testing my patience.

Your child makes a mistake that you have explained to them several times before. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

I will tell him that it's exhausting me. I am trying to find out what is stopping him from that. I will remind him of it again, but with a sense of perspective. I am afraid that I have failed as a parent. I am examining whether it is something deeper.

The child shows you a drawing that is unusual, full of dark colors. How do you react?

I will smile and praise the effort. I will ask what he meant by that. I’m starting to be suspicious – is something wrong? I take it as a game of imagination. I wonder if this is a reflection of something at home.

Your child is doing something just to make you happy. How do you feel?
