Motivating Our Aging Parents

Many years ago at Teachers College, I had one of those outstanding professors, the ones we never forget. For a semester, as aspiring counselors, we studied the techniques of counseling with him.......

We entered Dr. Pat's classroom the last week of the term. A short list of counseling "Don'ts" was on the board (see above). He thus provided us a practical list and discussed the importance of each "don't." I remember these "don'ts" as if it were yesterday. There was another listed--"don't use guilt." Remembering what not to do became normal in my counseling....and ultimately in my every day conversations with others.
