Let's try talking from the other end.
Of all the issues to which I expected to apply my clinical problem solving skills, this is not one. My four-year-old client farts in the middle of therapy. Loudly. Flagrantly. And he's getting bolder about it. The first time it happened, he looked at us (myself and the other clinician) with a big grin pasted across his face. After the most recent episode, he laughed out loud. We're not quite sure whether the key to extinguishing this off-task behavior is to ignore it or address it directly. Maybe I should add it to my list of objectives: The client will produce /l/ in all contexts and refrain from flatulence in the therapy room. It seems to happen whenever he is having a good time. Regardless, he makes it clear he's having a good time whenever it happens.
Apparently you are a gas in the counceling room
couldn't resist
