Collaboration with a child involves

Collaboration with children in the CFRP framework, under interpersonal competencies, emphasizes empowering them through positive reinforcement and partnership. Reinforcing the child’s effort encourages engagement and builds confidence in their ability to contribute to their recovery. The CFRP study guide states, “Collaboration with a child involves reinforcing their efforts to foster active participation and self-efficacy in the recovery process.” Instructing problem-solving (option A) or asking to identify barriers (option C) may be part of collaboration but are directive rather than reinforcing. Observing behaviors (option B) is a practitioner task, not a collaborative act.
