Have I told you how much I envy your opportunity to both take the training and to teach the program?
The index cards are always one of my favorite techniques. The advantage that you didn't mention that I found sometimes was that when you're caught off guard by a question, it gives you a moment to contemplate it, to catch your breath and carefully measure your reaction.
(And now I'll go back to my parenting discussion on calling genitals by their correct names, and that even if your child makes up a song about it and sings it at school it's normal and a childcare provider has probably heard it before and knows how to deal with it.)
