Children are not consciously aware of their mistaken goals. They aren’t even aware of their beliefs. This is why it is helpful to become a “mistaken goal detective.” What might Ann believe that prompts her to act this way? Well, Ann has noticed Catherine getting a lot of attention. Ann may have decided that Mom loves Catherine more. It certainly looks that way from her perspective. Ann’s behavior is saying, “I want attention too. I want to be noticed and to be a part of what is going on.” Ann believes that she belongs or matters only when she is being noticed or when Mom is busy with her. This is the first of the four coded messages (or mistaken goals): undue attention.

Put on your detective hat and make some guesses. How do you think Mom is feeling right now? Annoyed? Irritated? Guilty? She probably wishes she’d left Ann at home. How would Mom feel if she got into Ann’s world? What might she do differently?
