Tiffany's "Cute Guys"
Posted by Carla Tue, 27 Feb 2007 17:45:19 GMT
At my Tastefully Simple Conference, at the beginning of the month, they taught us how to ask questions for clarification of a persons point of view. If you understand where they are coming from, you can usually answer their true concerns. You first check for understanding, ask questions and those answers will guide your actions and reactions.
Here is the scene: Tiffany and Justin are sitting at the table talking. Tiffany says " I want all the cute guys to myself!" Justin says "Yeah, you can unlock them all and keep every one of them! " Tiffy "Yeah!!! I am going to have all the cute guys to myself, they are all for me!"
Now, I am thinking Hmmmmmm This is my 5 year old girl, Why is she talking about the Cute guys? Are their cute guys in her class ? Where is she coming from???? I decide to figure it out the Tastefully Simple way ........... Questions What? Where? Why? How? These are what I must find out to see where she is coming from. No jumping to conclusions about my boy crazy 5 year old girl!
"Tiffy, Where are these cute guys? " "In Lego's Star War's the Game cube game" now I am wondering why there are cute guys locked away in this game.........More clarification needed............. "What do these guys look like?" Tiffy says, "They have hoods and little coats on and they are white and they are really cute." "Justin, what do these cute guys look like?" "I love their hats (he is a hat fanatic) and they are like hooked on to their coats and they run around like this ........( to which he starts waddle running with his arms in close to his body and only his hands and lower part of his arms flailing about) I am now beginning to think they are not human..........."Why do you like them so much Tiffy?" "They look like big teddy bears and I just want to hug them all, they are just so cute and furry!" OHHHHHH are they Ewoks?" "Yes! and when you play the game right you unlock them for yourself."
Oh the difference a few questions make!
