Restorative Language
Restorative Questions
Restorative questions are open-ended and are meant to encourage accountability and a reflection of the impact on others. They focus on repairing the harm and developing stronger relationships with those involved in the conflict.
To Respond to Challenging Behavior:
- What happened?
- What were you thinking of at the time?
- What have you thought about since?
- Who has been affected by what you have done? In what way?
- What do you think you need to do to make things right?
To Help Those Harmed by Others' Actions:
- What did you think when you realized what had happened?
- What impact has this incident had on you and others?
- What has been the hardest thing for you?
- What do you think needs to happen to make things right?
