The Young Problem-Solver: Teaching Conflict Mediation to Kids
-
Narrated by:

By:
Attorney, certified mediator, and conflict resolution educator Catherine Wilhoit discusses how to bring problem-solving tools to young learners as early as possible. She explores how the philosophy of the "trained neutral," typically reserved for legal mediation, can be adapted into a teaching approach that empowers students to communicate effectively and resolve their own disagreements. Rather than relying on external authorities to impose outcomes, she advocates for a model that teaches kids to navigate their own paths toward productive, positive results. This conversation highlights the transformative potential of integrating mediation techniques into childhood education, fostering a foundation for healthy conflict engagement throughout life.
