  7. What summarizing sounds like… Let’s see if I’ve heard you right, Mrs. Jones… You are worried that your son is still using a bottle all day and know this may be contributing to his excess weight gain. You’ve been offering him a cup at meals and are pleased that he seems to be able to use it. You are not ready yet to put him to bed without a bottle. You liked my idea of bringing a sippy cup when you are out and will start doing that today. Have I missed anything?

  8. When to summarize… • When you want to ask for action • Prior to shifting gears • When you hear ambivalence and want to open the idea of exploring it further • When you want to give advice and expect resistance • At the end of a session
