Begin with their intention.
Ask what they want to create and who it is for. Help turn an idea into a manageable next step while keeping their choices central.
Think about what is shared.
Discuss appropriate boundaries around personal information and public work within the setting’s safeguarding arrangements.
Value the working process.
Drafts, mistakes and revisions create opportunities to reflect on problem solving. Support the young person to make decisions rather than taking over the project.
