Borba 1989

Scenario 1

You are waiting for your child to come out of

school, preparing for the evenings activities. As the

class comes out your child is last and looks very sad.

You ask what the problem is and he says ,”I got 1/10

in my spellings, I’m useless at spelling!”

What will your response be?

What could the consequences be?

Scenario 2

It’s a big day for your child at school; today the school netball team will be announced. Your daughter has been going to the netball club and thinks she is a certainty for the team.

What could your parting words be in the morning?

After school a very tearful daughter emerges with friends comforting her they are all in the team but she is not.

How could you respond?

How would you hope that her response will be different next time she hits a set back?
