Motivation style and recommendations .

Empathy	Generate discrepancy	To avoid arguing	Promoting self-efficacy	Change the resistance
Attitude of acceptance: •Acceptance of the person as he/she is. •Acceptance of her ambivalence •Non-judgment of the person •Use of reflective listening (desire to understand the patient's/carer's points of view)	•Create and amplify a discrepancy between the consequences of the current behavior and the most important objectives to be achieved. •Analyze the consequences of current behavior in the medium-long term, which prevent the achievement of personal goals. •Let the patient and/or carer, if desired, express the reasons for wanting to change.	•Not convincing the patient/ carer that he/she has a problem and needs to change it when he/she may not want to. •Avoid arguing, as they usually generate more resistances. •If resistances appear, it is up to the HCP/pediatrician to change the strategy to be used.	•Increase the patient's/ carer's personal belief in performing a given behavior (“I can do it”, “I can get it”, “What's the harm in trying”?) •Emphasize the need for personal responsibility for change.	•Identification of resistance •Avoid arguing •New points of view are suggested, not imposed.
