Summarizing the content of a teaching session is useful at the end of the teaching session. This helps to identify any areas that need to be re-explained or reemphasized to the client. Asking the client to repeat what was discussed may make the client ill at ease. The same can occur when asking "What do you think?" about information that is factual. Telling the client that the information is very important can make the client nervous and on edge. That feeling can make the client forget information that is important to remember.
