During the Development Tuesdays series, we invite you to the webinar "Minimediation using the SNO method at home, kindergarten and school". The webinar will take place on 27.12.202. To register for the list of participants, it is necessary to register for this event via the link: Registration for the webinar
During the webinar, we will analyze the SNO method in terms of its structure – what elements create this tool, what sentences invite contact, what causes contact to be broken or hindered. We will discuss real-life examples, both those prepared by the host and those provided by the webinar participants.
Mini-mediation is a tool that can be successfully used every time a conflict occurs. Mini-mediation is a tool that makes it easier to look at conflict as an opportunity, not as a threat. Thanks to Mini-mediation, we are in touch with ourselves and our needs, as well as the needs of the other person, or we are ready to look for these needs. We see emotions as signposts, and strategies as one of the ways to meet needs, not the only right way to perform actions. Mini-mediation invites giraffe ears into our lives. Both giraffe ears from the inside and outside. What does it mean?
Let's look at a specific situation:
At home
A child sits and looks through a magazine that he chose today during his visit to the store. There are blocks on the floor. A parent comes in and sees the mess and disorder. We have a choice of how we react and what we say.
Mini-mediation is a bit of magic that can completely change the way you communicate as a family.
Giraffe ears outside:
I can see you feel excited because you need something new.
Giraffe ears inward:
I feel irritated because I need law and order.
In such a situation, how can we ensure that the needs of all participants in the relationship are taken into account?
-I see you're reading your new newspaper now. At the same time, I care about the order in the room and our comfort. I want to make sure that no one steps on the blocks. Do you have any ideas what we can do to take care of that?
-Dad, I'll clean it up in a moment.
-I hear you say "in a moment", will you tell me what that means to you?
-Well, once I read the newspaper to the end.
-Okay, I hear you have this idea that you will collect the blocks after you read the magazine to the end, is that right?
-Yes.
-OK, I like this idea.
Assuming good intentions of children leads us, like a thread, to a ball of communication based on needs. The choice is key here. And it is up to you which way you will go. Whether towards atavisms and learned automatons, recorded in the body. Or whether you will go the path not taken so far, which will lead you to an authentic and safe relationship with a child - both your own and the one from the kindergarten or school classroom.
