Katie- CP6
I brought my CP to the grassy area and fountain out by Strozier yesterday. I brought my dog along and we played some fetch and talked about his future plans. I typically ask him questions and after he answers them I summarize what he says before to lead to the conversation. He appreciates this technique because he likes hearing different ways of what he was trying to say. We chatted about him being embarrassed about going back to Turkey without an acceptance to a university and I reassured him that he will get one and if not he has no reason to be embarrassed. We talked about pets and outdoor activities. After a lengthy conversation I took him home and helped him up the stairs since he still has a broken foot.
That is nice how you were able to make the CP meeting fun and relaxed, but help him too. My CPs (one was from Turkey) never had time to meet like this.
