There are two ways to handle a child mediation dispute: the first is to conduct an informal discussion with both parties and reach a agreeable solution to the problem. This may be accomplished through a visit to each party's home to attend to their needs. The second, more traditional way of handling a child mediation dispute is to have the child or children involved in the mediation process. Both choices have their pros and cons, but often children that are old enough to take part in a mediation can offer valuable insights to help resolve the problem.
Once the parties are ready for mediation, the mediator takes over the duties of the parties, both parents and the mediator.
In a typical mediation, the parties meet in a room but can be separate rooms as well. The mediator begins by conducting a questionnaire with all parties about what has happened since the difficulities began.
The mediator then attempts to get a true picture of the parties' feelings by asking questions such as "did you try to resolve things on your own?" "what do you think went wrong?" and "do you feel a good solution has been found?"
Once the party agrees to a mediator, they all sit down together, at which point the mediator will interview each party. If all parties are agreeable, a resolution is reached.
As a result of mediation, the parties are allowed to put the dispute behind them and become ready to try again.
While the parties may have had to confront their conflict head-on, they are not re-traumatized. They also are allowed to work on any problems that may arise later in life. With mediation, it is possible to stay out of trouble while settling any issues that arose after the initial crisis. With this type of program, the parties can learn how to communicate without conflict and so reduce their juvenile criminal activity rates.
