At the beginning I kept a little distance between us so as not to overwhelm her and I presented myself with a relaxed posture and uncrossed arms. When he spoke he wouldn't look me in the eye and his voice was strained as if he was trying not to cry. Her facial expression showed furrowed eyebrows and she kept biting her lip, as if she was focused on keeping her emotions contained. As we continued to talk I got more on her level and always gave her eye contact so she could see that I was interested in what she had to say. This way I could also show her that I was there to welcome her and not to scare her. She slowly became more relaxed in her posture and didn't cross her arms. She told me that she was very afraid of not fitting in with the other children and that she didn't like being away from her mother for long periods of time..
