GENERAL INTRODUCTION |
| |
Read slowly--AS
WORDED.
Must be standardized administration. |
| SAY TO FATHER: |
| “I am going to videotape you and (CHILD)
doing several different short activities. First, I’ll
ask you to teach (CHILD) to do something, and then I will ask
you to spend a few minutes doing any activity with (CHILD) that
you choose to do. Finally, I have some toys for you and (CHILD)
to play with.
I’ll talk with you about each activity as we go along
and you’ll have a chance to ask questions before each
activity. Just so you know, all the toys have been cleaned
before this visit.
While I set up the video equipment, please take care of anything
that you think could interrupt our taping. You can use this
time to feed or change (CHILD), or to check on anything else
in the [house/apartment]. Once we start I’d like to
complete each activity without interruptions. If the phone
rings or someone comes to the door, I would appreciate it
if someone else took care of it, or if you wouldn’t
mind, I could answer it.” |
|
IF OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ARE PRESENT, ADD:
|
“Could you please let the other people
in the (house/apartment) know that you’ll need some
time now with (CHILD) without interruptions? If you wouldn’t
mind, if any family members forget and come into this area
while we are taping, I will ask them to leave so that you
are not interrupted.
Do you have any questions?” |
|
IF THERE ARE OTHER CHILDREN, BE SURE TO WORK OUT A STRATEGY WITH THE
FATHER FOR OCCUPYING THEM AND KEEPING THEM OUT OF (CHILD)’S
VIEW.
|
| “Altogether the activities
will take about 25 minutes. We won’t need (CHILD) for
the next few minutes while I set up.
Do you have any questions?” |
