We started by going through the instructions and then started with "talking about talking". Here are some of my observations:
- My 12-year-old's "becauses" were generally restatements of the statement
- My husband and I tended to agree
- Rarely did anyone change his/her mind
- We made it through about as many as I did with my peers at TMC
- I really wanted to convince them to think like me
- The 10 minutes went fast and everyone seemed willing to try more in about a week...even wanting to work on the same page
- We only came to a full consensus on one talking point
I'm trying to not evaluate these observations at this time, but I am trying to get rid of my attitude about wanting to change other peoples minds/attitudes. If they are willing to try again, then I guess we will just see where this takes us.
