Young people using READY

I am just back from a youth exchange in Spain, where we used our READY techniques over the course of the week to bring the young people together. The READY (as you know based on RP and teenyoga methods) icebreakers contained in the handbook proved extremely helpful. Check out the BYC Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/stories/belvedereyouth/ for lots of updates as to how this has worked over our exchanges in building relationships. We have also used some of our ideas to prepare the groundwork for evaluations sessions.

Self care piece

I love this video from Sweden of READY at work. It seems wonderfully peaceful and the group seem to be getting a great opportunity to explore self care ideas.

Restorative circle

Hi!

I have a question for who ever could help me.

I have been struggling to establish a restorative circle "routine" with my 9-10 year olds in the afternoon school daycare. It turns out it is extremely difficult as:

  • they are up to 26 in the group

  • it is very very hard to silence them so they could hear what the person with the talking/listening piece is saying

  • they would react to every word of the speaking person and after it goes like dominos (Yes, but she... You are lying... Yesterday/In the second grade (two years ago!) when blablabla one over the other...)

This is really tricky Nina! Especially if they are not used to this kind om practice. At one of the schools I worked at, they taught the kids to do easy mindfulness practices from first day in school and listen to a story, like a body scan. But with your group, start small. Maybe just practice the ”only to speak when I have the toy in my hand” And don’t give up!

I like the idea of restorative action in practice. We have to consistently remind ourselves as to why we take these approaches and how important they are.
