»Okay, then you have won.«<br />

I did it that way, <strong>in</strong> or<strong>der</strong> to put this method<br />

across, namely to achieve effective communication,<br />

by questions & answers.<br />

13.2. Maria asks Hildegard:<br />

How could you motivate Patrick?<br />

Maria: How could you motivate Patrick to get<br />

<strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> this communication tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g?<br />

Hildegard: Well, I th<strong>in</strong>k the suggestion for a communication<br />

tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g came at the right moment.<br />

Patrick had been one year <strong>in</strong> the foster family, he<br />

had started to trust his foster mother and had<br />

experienced the complaisant atmosphere <strong>in</strong> the<br />

foster family. And then he also hadn’t been to<br />

school for two years and had managed with a lot<br />

of support to regularly attend school. And I th<strong>in</strong>k<br />

that gave him a boost <strong>in</strong> self-confidence.<br />

It encouraged him to start a new development, to<br />

get engaged with someth<strong>in</strong>g new. I th<strong>in</strong>k that was<br />

really important.<br />

Maria: That he felt, that he needed it, you mean?<br />

Hildegard: Yes, that he is also able to do it now.<br />

He made the first step and went to school, that<br />

worked. Now the next th<strong>in</strong>g could come.<br />

Maria: So, he already was <strong>in</strong> school before he<br />

started the communication tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g?<br />

Hildegard: Yes, he already managed to do that<br />

and that gave him motivation. Now the next big<br />

step could come. And then the »communication<br />

tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g« was suggested.<br />

Maria: Do you th<strong>in</strong>k, Patrick noticed that he didn’t<br />

really know how to speak with other children at<br />

school?<br />

Hildegard: He experienced that on an daily basis.<br />

Especially the breaks were extremely hard for him.<br />

There, it is important to contact and speak to<br />

others. Dur<strong>in</strong>g the lessons, when he is concentrated<br />

on the teacher, he doesn’t notice it that much.<br />

Maria: As he nicely put it, that he couldn’t make<br />

eye contact because he was afraid. Afraid of not<br />

be<strong>in</strong>g able to read the faces. That »read<strong>in</strong>g faces«<br />

<strong>in</strong> tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g moments helped him a great deal and<br />

took away his fear of look<strong>in</strong>g at people. We call<br />

that »refusal of eye contact«, but there was only<br />

fear. This is really <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Hildegard: That he recognised on his own, that he<br />

wants to have more contact to others. Yes, and I<br />

th<strong>in</strong>k the foster mother also played an important<br />

role, that eventually she motivated him. She got<br />

to know MARTE MEO, when I did the review of the<br />

family situation with her and was at once touched<br />

by the power of pictures. That she liked very<br />

much, how much <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>in</strong> the pictures can<br />

be found and she also liked that we work with the<br />

abilities. I th<strong>in</strong>k, she was positive that it would be<br />

a good th<strong>in</strong>g for Patrick to do it. And like that she<br />

also put it across.<br />

Maria: It is also very nice, that you <strong>in</strong>clude the<br />

person, Patrick confides <strong>in</strong>, <strong>in</strong> the motivation. She<br />

can tell Patrick: »Oh, that could be a good th<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

You tell me about school that you are sometimes<br />

a little bit afraid. Maybe it would be easier for<br />

you, if you had developed communication skills.«<br />

Hildegard: I th<strong>in</strong>k she liked it and told it to Patrick<br />

<strong>in</strong> a way that he liked it as well.<br />

13.2.1 The foster mother could be won for the<br />

cooperation<br />

Maria: What I found to be remarkable <strong>in</strong> this<br />

situation is that it worked so well to cooperate<br />

with the foster mother. That you already see <strong>in</strong> the<br />

first few pictures that show she has a big heart.<br />

When you told me: »I showed him, what he could<br />

do very well«, that she said: »I found that super.<br />

He told me about it. I asked him how it was and he<br />

said: “She showed me, what I can already do well.”.«<br />

I th<strong>in</strong>k it is nice that such a woman can say: »I<br />

found it super.« That she doesn’t say <strong>in</strong>stead: »Well,<br />

you don’t need to let yourself be fooled, that and<br />

that he can’t do yet.«<br />

The cooperation with the foster mother I found<br />

<strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> this case because you managed it to<br />

work together with the mother so that she could<br />

share the task Patrick had to do <strong>in</strong> or<strong>der</strong> to practise<br />

communication, the one you had given him <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Review, with him <strong>in</strong> the weeks between.<br />

I thought the example to be very nice that she or<br />

Patrick told that he practised to read faces after<br />

you did some close-up views and that Patrick then<br />

said: »I have seen so much there,« and then to<br />

his foster mother: »Look, there are two girls of the<br />

age of eight and they are so different.«<br />

And there you see what a last<strong>in</strong>g effect it has.<br />

Us<strong>in</strong>g MARTE MEO, it is extremely important that<br />

one practices <strong>in</strong> the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g as much as possible.<br />

Not only <strong>in</strong> the Reviews, but especially…<br />

Hildegard: Yes… And that happened here. She was<br />

sure of it. I <strong>in</strong>volved her <strong>in</strong> the process and she<br />

could support between the reviews.<br />

Maria: And how did it start? How did it work out<br />

then?<br />

Hildegard: Well, it was as follow<strong>in</strong>g. We had<br />

planned that at first I rema<strong>in</strong> reticent and that she<br />

would familiarise Patrick with the idea. When she<br />

then called and said: »Patrick agreed,« she immediately<br />

gave him the phone and I arranged the<br />

first appo<strong>in</strong>tment with him. MARTE<br />
