… as a real person in the new world

SPECIAL-GROWTH PARTICIPATION

Story Building with Pictures

150 hours with your nurturer

1200+ words gained

Lifestyle Participation Activities

Experience lots of public activities — on the streets, with technology, possibly in homes

Try to “emerge” to a few host people.

Look for host people you could interact with more in the next phase

By the End of the Phase

real but very limited connection with host people becomes possible

some host people catch glimpses of your personality

deep relationships are still not really possible

This phase can be a lot of fun. Your understanding of simple stories will grow a lot and you’ll start being able to speak more easily. Communication — and therefore building relationships — will still require a lot of effort and patience, but it’s possible. Keep going and challenge yourself especially when you’re in the lead in the Story-Building activities. This phase is also best done intensively (20-25 hours per week with your nurturer).
