This segment shows you the three
ingredients of Plan B in their most basic form. But if the Plan B you do with
your kids or students doesn't look like this, don't dismay...most Plan B
discussions take longer and are more messy and complicated than what is shown
in this video. So what you're seeing here isn't necessarily yourgoal...it's just the three ingredients in
their most basic form.
The goal of the Empathy step is to
achieve the clearest possible understanding of a kid's concern or perspective
on a given unsolved problem. And while kids are usually happy that adults are
finally interested in their concerns, it's not always easy for them to provide
adults with sufficient information. That's when you'll need to
"drill" for more information. Drilling for information is the hardest
part of the Empathy step...this video provides you with an example of what it
looks like.
Plan B doesn't work very well if you're
really using Plan A. And oftentimes, adults are certain they already know what
a kid's concern is, so they don't put any effort into figuring it out.
Sometimes, the concerns of the two parties aren't clear enough to begin
considering potential solutions. And sometimes adults do a great job of getting
concerns on the table but then unilaterally solve the problem anyway. You'll
see these common patterns depicted in this video.
Plan B can also go awry if the two
parties agree on a solution that isn't realistic and mutually satisfactory. In
this video, you'll see a teacher doing a great job of clarifying the student's
concerns (in the Empathy step), then doing a fine job of clarifying his own
concerns (in the Define the Problem step), but then agreeing on a solution that
isn't especially realistic. Take a look.
In this video, you'll see a teacher who has strong preconceived
notions about the student's concerns (so she doesn't put any time into figuring
out what they really are) and has a preordained solution in mind (so she's not
really solving the problem collaboratively).http://www.livesinthebalance.org/plan-b-goes-awry-part-3
It's not uncommon for kids to respond
to the "What's up?" of the Empathy step with silence. And it's not
uncommon for adults to be uncomfortable with the silence and to "fill the
void" with their own words. As shown in this video, you'll want to resist
that temptation and give the kid a chance to think.
