Repair Time: what is it and why do it?
▪ Repair Time is about planning how to repair any harm done.
▪ It has two purposes:
➢ To repair relationships so they are peaceful in the future
➢ To help build emotional intelligence so the child develops empathic
concern and WANTS to do the right thing by others.
▪ It’s not for working out how to do better next time (we use ‘Coaching
Conversations’ for that). Repair should be tackled separately.
▪ ‘If you don’t follow up, you’ll always be mopping up’.
Time now saves time in the future. Are you willing to invest?
▪ Don’t expect children to do better if you don’t do Follow Up and Repair
consistently.
▪ There should be a school procedure for this and allocated times.
