Christopher had a great session today. He was excited to tell me about how his week was going and how he is looking forward to spring break. We spent today’s session discussing safety online. He was able to brainstorm certain things that may be considered unsafe in online friendships such as disclosing his first and last name or agreeing to meet up with friends he has made online without asking his parents first. He had a difficult time determining the line of appropriate content and inappropriate content.
We also discussed how his friendships were going at school. He said as of right now he has been able to implement some of the strategies we discussed. I was able to witness him on the playground today and I saw him going out of his way to make pleasant conversation, engage in conversation with less familiar peers and adhere to the rules of the game.
