Hi everybody,
Of course, I also enjoyed the training a lot!
Yesterday but one I already wrote two letters to children who were involved in a serious fight. I picked up inspiration in the lecture about he supporters network.
When incidents happen in the group and other team members pass by, we don't interfere with it and keep out of it, unless it is really needed of course or when the caretakers give us a sign to help.
Now I decided to write two letters to the children and asked the caretakers to hand them over when the children cooled down. Also asked to send them their reactions.
One child got the letter later on in the evening and already announced that she would tear it into pieces. she read the letter though, and of course teared it. I was told that she did it in another way than she usually does; she did it very quitly, after reading the message. The message seemed not to have made her upset. It was more of doing what she told, staying loyal to her words.
The other child read it and kept it.
So, next time that they will come for psychotherapy, it could be a topic.
In actual sense, I myself felt confortable with it. Cause the not interfering attitude, seems sometimes to confuse young children: "Why is one taking it so serious and the other one just passes by, as if nothing is happening....?".
It was also very supporting towards the team members. So, thanks for the lecture once again, it really seems to be a combination of two important things: the boundary and the support.
lots of greetings,
Annelies
