De-Escalation Techniques

Decent Essays
This discussion really made me think on how to handle a situation with an upset parent. I was a little concerned on how well my methods of de-escalation techniques were going to be in this situation because it was a bit different from the couple of exercise we did in class. Nonetheless I did this exercise with a woman named Bailee and the exercise took about 10 to 15 minutes to complete/ The technique I used first for this assignment was an emotional one. I responded to her situation in an apologetic manner and expressed my dealt of frustration with her. After that I started to use open ended questions such as, "May I ask what you've done at home in trying to talk to her? How does that make you feel?". These techniques were all natural to me

    If you think people who get emotionally attached to fictional characters in books and films is silly, I am almost afraid to tell the story I am about to tell. You see in November, I wrote a rough draft for a novel, and one of the main themes of the novel is abusive relationships. As I was at the part where my heroine's marriage was going from bad to unbearable, the Paris attacks happen. Terrorist attacks and natural disasters are always very upsetting to me, being HSP, but what made Paris especially bad, is because I have been to Paris when I was 18; and if you could be in love a city, I was! While watching the news, people were saying Paris felt different.…

Her bright blue eyes welled up with tears and I could smell the soft Avon lotion on her. I had asked her a simple question but I quickly realized there was no simple answer. I believe that all of life in general can be like that.…

Hearing about what is happening in schools all across the country, being a parent they should talk to their children more about the outcome of something bad happening, maybe not as many young teenagers would go partying, do drugs or bully someone to the point of death.

Teaching them to respect the feelings of others and having them vent their frustrations and anger are all within the parent’s realm of authority (Coconi). It is a parent’s responsibility to recognize their child’s behaviors and rectify them before an innocent or weaker child is hurt (Coconi).…
