Here are some suggestions to help group members feel comfortable and
to trust in each other:
Listen carefully to what others say, without judging them. Think
about how you want others to listen to you, and then try to listen to
them in the same way.
Can you try to
explain it again?
Pearl, I’m not sure
I understand what
you are saying.
Try not to tell other people what to do. You can help others understand
how they are feeling, and share your own experiences. But everyone
must make their own decisions about the best way to care for their
children.
Vladir gets very angry
if we try to change our

angry at little things
when he was that age.
It is easier now.
How did you
help Paulo learn
to control his
temper? That is
something we are
facing with our
daughter.
