From the Paper:

"The exercise about discerning others' intentions is important as well. During the exercise, counselors should interact with their students and their parents at all possible times and provide an active example in any of these situations. Students might be asked to discuss open-ended topics with minimal supervision, or there may be a more direct approach. Expectations are very important because they can determine how well or poorly a student does."
