Taking turns Operational Definition After 6 weeks of attending weekly counseling sessions, Chris will respond appropriately to winning and losing. When friends are together, they take turns. Feelings Felix is a star baseball player for the Seattle Mariners. He must patiently wait his turn to go to bat. Felix likes to win, but sometimes he loses. When he wins, he smiles and says “alright!” When he loses, he takes a deep breath and says “good job” to his opponent or “maybe next time.” My thoughts... Games should be fun for everyone! If you win a game, you can “smile” and say “alright!” If you lose, you can take a deep breath, say “good job” to your opponent or “maybe next time.” Play games the Felix way and your friends will have fun playing with you. Classroom observation After 6 weeks of attending weekly sessions, Chris will take appropriate turns when playing games with peers (initiating a turn, taking only one turn, waiting for next turn, relinquishing turn when necessary). My friends will be happy when I use good manners and take turns. They will want to play with me again. Session 3: Coping strategies to deal with frustration cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) When playing a game with peers, Chris is unable to identify coping strategies to deal with his emotions. Because of limited attention and engagement, I had to supplement CBT with behavioral interventions. Baseline- Can't identify any reasons he should take turns After 6 weeks of attending weekly counseling sessions, Chris will be able to identify at least one reason why he should take turns when playing with peers.
