30、 “security blankets”.The term was popularized by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz in the comic strip Peanuts. The idea came from his youngest child, Jill, who used to carry a blanket everywhere.

32、to a state of being separate from the mother. A transitional object tends to have qualities reminding them of the mother: it is soft; it can be stroked (轻抚) and hugged.

37、oup discussion, you will want to make sure everyone is comfortable. A good way to break the ice is to let everyone introduce themselves.

38、e knows the rules of conduct. Rules can be established as needed. Here are some general ones. Advise everyone to treat one another with respect. _33_ Remind everyone to be aware of time.

39、in the topic. _34_ Even if the participants know what that topic is, give them a quick refresher before the discussion begins. You can introduce the topic by asking questions.

40、. ” _35_ You do not want to ask questions with a simple “ yes ” or “ no ” answer, especially not initially. Your questions should encourage people to share meaningful thoughts and ideas.
