When we gain respect, feel listened to or being heard, gain recognition for meeting goals, and self control we are actually in control of our selves. Because a child is in the system they may not feel they have power over their situation, and that may be true, but they will eventually gain that control if they continue in the program.
Part of this unit is recognizing our need for power, discussing different ways to meet this need, and creating plans with goals to help meet this need.
