National Capital Military Children’s Center Variation Responses Staff often answer questions with variation described as part of the process. e.g., “I usually…” “we often…” “If night shift does it then…” “I guess…” –Avoid this type of answer whenever possible as it leads to the need for further questioning to determine if the process is stable.
