I'm on the phone with my friend and I tell her about the spider that crawled across my living room floor last night. OMG, I am so afraid of spiders! When I ask her what she's afraid of, she tells me balloons. "You are afraid of balloons? What do you mean? You are afraid of them popping or what?" She says yes. "That must be an issue when you are at birthday parties, huh?"

Well, maybe I can help you with that. We could both inflate a bunch of balloons, and then we could pop them together. Do you want to try? Okay, inflate a bunch of balloons, and then call me back. I can help you get...

We pop balloons together while talking on the phone. I pop about 5 balloons first to get my friend used to the sound of balloons popping. I tell her exactly how I am popping them, and ask her how each pop made her feel.

Are you ready to try popping some balloons now? I explain to her some different ways to pop them, and have her give each way a try. Once she gets comfortable popping balloons, I ask her if she wants to try something a little more difficult.

I want you to try to blow to pop a balloon. It's okay, we will do it together. I will walk you through it. We inflate balloons at the same time, I encourage her to keep going. Keep blowing, you can do it!

Now let's pop the rest of these balloons! Why don't you tell me how you want to pop them.

We sit pop, nail pop, lay to pop, b2p, and race to pop several balloons.

60+ Balloons!
