10 Barnahús – The Children´s House · Transitioning to the topic of concern “Tell me why you are here today talking to me ?” open-ended invitation use the child words followed by focused follow-up questions “... tell me all about that” “... tell me everything about that from the beginning to the end”

11 Barnahús – The Children´s House · Gather details and corroboration “did (this) happen one time or more than one time ?” focus on one event at a time (last, first, most memorable, worst, etc.) who, what, where, how,... when (young children can’t answer that) five senses what was said how it started, how it ended

What makes a good interview Does the interviewer put the child at ease ? Warm and friendly presence Strong presence that shows „you can tell me anything and I can handle it“ „tell me …“ vs. „can you tell me …“ „everything“ vs. „a little bit“ Gentle persistence – knowing when to push as well as knowing when to stop Pacing – allowing for silences Use of developmentally appropriate language 15 Barnahús – The Children´s House ·
