Encouraging a child's self-worth is a critical strategy for facilitating recovery in the CFRP framework.
Demonstrating empathy, which involves understanding and validating the child's feelings, fosters a sense of value and self-worth. The CFRP study guide notes, "To encourage a child's self-worth, practitioners must demonstrate empathy, showing genuine understanding of the child's experiences to build their sense of value." Identifying emotions (option A) is a step but less impactful than empathy. Reinforcing perception (option B) may not always be positive, depending on the child's self-view. Displaying sympathy (option D) involves pity and is less empowering than empathy.
