• Consequences - develops empathy through awareness of other’s feelings: “what might happen if…?”, “Is _____ a good idea or not a good idea?”

What is dialoguing?
• Teacher/adult guides the child in applying ICPS concepts to solve a real-life problem.
• Helps children try again if their first attempt to solve a problem fails
• Helps children learn to cope with frustration when they don’t get what they want immediately
Dialoguing is a communication skill

ICPS Dialoguing Procedures
• The nature of the problem that arises will determine the exact procedures for dialoguing.
• Teachers do not need to memorize a set of specific questions.
• Five basic principles are a guide in ICPS dialoguing.

One-hour Training 13
Basic Principles of ICPS Dialoguing
1. Child and teacher/adult must identify the real problem.
2. Each must understand and deal with the problem.
3. Once the real problem is identified, the teacher/adult must not alter it to meet his/her own needs.
4. The child, not the teacher/ adult, must solve the problem.
5. The focus is on how the child thinks, not what he/she thinks.

When not to dialogue
• It is not possible or even necessary to dialogue every problem.
– Always remove children from harm
– Sometimes a crying child just needs to cry or an angry child just needs to be angry.
