Hi everybody,
We started NVR with a girl of 9 years old and it really had a positive effect. (see former messages) The crises drastically reduced!
We wrote that we will no longer accept it when she hurts other children or adults and when she damages the properties of the center. We did one SMS in that following week.
Now, after a month, the problems are starting again, but with another kind of expression.
Before she would break things down, attack children and social workers physically.
Now, she throws things on the floor without destroying them, she empties bottles of water on the floor when she gets angry and she uses a lot of insulting words towards children and social workers. In a way, it is still better then before, but really not ok...
So we were wondering,
should we do an SMS or should we write another announcement that stresses more attention to the verbal agression and to the throwing with things?
Looking forward to your idea's!
