Episode 10- Tracking in CCPT

Kylie introduces the core CCPT skills of tracking and reflecting content, framing tracking as the foundational way therapists show they’re following a child’s play (e.g., starting statements with “You/You are…”). She explains how brief, non-judgmental tracking supports co-regulation, invites permissiveness, and keeps the child in the lead, while reflecting content offers short summaries of what the child has done. Kylie cautions against the “question trap,” over-praise, and over-tracking; encourages pausing to observe nonverbal feedback; and highlights culturally sensitive and neurodiversity-affirming language. The episode closes with practical tips: practice tracking in everyday life, keep statements short and concrete, observe before speaking, and remember the goal is the child’s process, not the therapist's “answers.”
