My Body Your Body Workshop

“My Body –Your Body:” A Standard of Fairness in Times of Disagreement

A Realm of Conversation for Adults with Young People
Far Beyond “room cleaning” and “homework”
Why do we applaud the current courage of Middle Eastern citizens who risk death to gain fair treatment, yet when our own young people call out to us with similar feelings of outrage, “That’s not fair!” we turn a deaf ear. “Life isn’t fair,” we say dismissively, as we discount and ignore their very real human concerns. In our smugness that it is just kids’ normal mode of complaint, we leave them on their own, time and again, to determine the behaviors required for living responsibly with self and others in a difficult world that requires skillful navigation.

In this workshop you will learn:

That fair treatment in “power over” relationships can occur only when the roles “parent,” “child,” “teacher,” and “student” are taken out of the equation, allowing for the legitimacy of the issue to be addressed between equal human persons.
How implementation of the “My Body – Your Body” (MBYB) model will alter the very foundation of your relationships, moving conversations from trite rules about appropriate behavior to extraordinary sharing about hopes, pains, dreams, and the struggle of life.
How to apply one universally accepted standard of fairness to every situation – simple enough for 2 1/2 year olds to understand, and fair enough for struggling teens to accept as valid and follow without resentment.
That there are only 4 clear intervention options you will ever need to deal effectively with any behavior of a young person – home or school.
How to give young people a life skill for discerning authority that deserves their respect from authority that warrants their disobedience.
