• Parent guides the child in applying ICPS concepts to solve a real-life problem.
• Helps children try again if their first attempt to solve a problem fails
• Helps them learn to cope with frustration when they don’t get what they want immediately
Lesson 1: Overview 15
Basic Principles of ICPS Dialoguing
• Child and parent must identify the real problem.
• Each must understand and deal with the problem.
• Once the real problem is identified, the parent must not change it to meet his/her own needs.
• The child, not the parent, must solve the problem.
• The focus is on how the child thinks, not what he/she thinks.
Lesson 1: Overview 16
When Not to Dialogue
It is not possible or even necessary to dialogue every problem.• Always remove
children from harm.• Sometimes a crying
child just needs to cry or an angry child just needs to be angry.
