ABSTRACT
This chapter describes anticipation dialogues which are appropriate for less acute situations. The Anticipation Dialogue questions are precisely about a good and the lessening of worries. The task of the facilitators is to ensure that the dialogue enables those present to be heard, that manifold impressions are obtained, and that planning cooperation to lessen worries develops as well as possible. The first step is acknowledging the worry with the parent(s)/ caregiver(s) and suggesting the meeting. It is important to notice that the professional practitioner is requesting help in lessening her/his own worry. The initiative for assembling a network meeting is made by someone who is worried about the well-being of a child or an adolescent. If the practitioner suggests a meeting by way of a practitioner's plea for help to the caregivers, tinges of blame can be avoided.
