Understanding Restorative Practice
Learn how to manage behaviour through communication and relationships
"Restorative Practice embodies a way of being which requires consistent proactive responses to working with individuals, families and communities to try to restore a fragmented and disconnected society, through building our relationships and “repairing the harm” (Zehr, 1990).
Restorative practices are not something we do to children - it's a process we work through with them. And while they are designed to build, maintain, and repair relationships and not change behaviour specifically, they do result in changed behaviour patterns (Lott, 2018). Why? Because the focus is on those all important components we are always talking about: rapport and communication!
