ADULT: I’ve noticed you haven’t been eating what I’ve been making for dinner lately. What’s up?

KID: I don’t like it.

ADULT (using Strategy #2): What don’t you like about it?

KID: I just don’t like it.

ADULT (using Strategy #1): You just don’t like it. Can you say more about that?

KID: It just doesn’t taste good.

ADULT (sticking with Strategy #1): Ah, it just doesn’t taste good. What do you mean?

KID: I don’t know.

ADULT (not abandoning the well and using drilling Strategy #3): You know, I noticed that some nights you eat what I make and some nights you don’t. Are there some things I make that you like and some things I make that you don’t?

KID: I like pasta.

ADULT: Yes, I’ve noticed that you do like pasta. But I think there are other things I make that you eat.

KID: Like what?

ADULT: Rice.

KID: Oh, yeah, rice. But when you put all that stuff in it, like nuts, and those little slices of orange, it’s disgusting.

ADULT: Is there anything else I make that you like?

KID: No.

ADULT: Is there anything I make that you especially don’t like? I mean, besides the rice with the nuts and mandarin oranges in it.

KID: Well, I kinda like your meatballs, but that’s it. And I don’t like the vegetables . . . except corn on the cob.

ADULT: I’m glad we’re figuring out what you like and don’t like. That’ll help us solve this problem.
