“You’re sending Michael back to school? I would NEVER do that!”
In these times of knee-jerk reactions and words that trigger almost immediate, and expected responses, it’s a good idea today to take a moment and think about your responses. We don’t think anyone is enjoying discussions today with divergence of opinion.
If you take the Restorative Practices Training offered by the Youth Restoration Project you will have new skills and newfound confidence in how to diffuse, clarify, and hopefully continue a conversation in a meaningful way with a friend, family member, or colleague.
So – the question – “You’re sending Michael back to school? might then go this way:
“You’re sending Michael back to school? Interesting. We’re discussing the pros and cons now, so would you share how you made your decision?
Have you ever felt like your message was ignored? Could it have been your delivery? Or do you sometimes reject feedback, because of a person’s tone and attitude? You’re not alone. Rephrasing your message into a restorative one has a far higher chance of being heard.
The simple, practical “restorative practice” skills that we teach will help you get through tense situations with more success. They’re empowering. In every area of your life!
