As a school we have developed a resource that outlines how we work with children who has done something that hurts others. It is a great resource for parents as well as it outlines the restorative practice methods that we use at school. The document has all the questions that can be asked to resolve conflict meaning you can use it at home as well.
Below is page 2 of the document which is the most important page of the 3 page resource. These are the questions you can use at home to support the same language that we use at school. It means that the children are getting the same message both at home and at school which is always important. We will be holding a parent workshop in Term 3 to go over the questioning technique as well as providing an overview of the restorative practice approach. It is all about building and retaining trust in all relationships through a no blame approach. It also ensures that the ‘wrong doer’ appreciates that their actions have consequences and they must come up with a solution themselves to ‘fix’ the relationship.
