Hey Peter, I really enjoyed your article. My favorite quote in your article was, "By changing the way we describe a problem, we can often change the problem itself." Manning. I think that is really true because it changes our attitude into positive rather then negative, and often changes our thoughts about the situation. My question for you is... When you were talking about being positive and switching comments around into a positive statement rather then negative, for example, "That was a good stutter." Would you carry on the same approach for an adult client or how would you talk to them differently?
