5. If not, have they demonstrated any “acting–out” behaviors?
6. What activities could you or have you tried to create ‘new traditions?’
7. Do you have resources available for your children?
8. Have you ever journaled? Think of ways to encourage your child/ren to write out their feelings.
9. Have you ever scrapbooked? Do you think your kids would enjoy it?
10. What do you do to teach your child/ren how to ‘reach out to others in need?’
11. Do your children have a pet? If not, is this a possibility?
12. Has your child shown interest in a hobby? How could you encourage a hobby?
13. Who could you go to as an adviser to help with difficult situations?
