Structured Observation
Summary
TLDRClive and Amanda are working on their parenting skills with the help of psychologist Sue Jenna, who analyzes their interactions with their child, Andrew, through the parent-child game. The focus is on identifying the balance between positive, child-centered behaviors (praise, warmth) and negative, child-directive behaviors (criticism, control). Research shows that overly directive parents can make children's behavior worse. In this session, the couple shows minimal positive reinforcement, which doesn't encourage Andrew's efforts, such as when he proudly shows his shed, but gets a critical response instead of praise.
