Children and youth achieve their potential when their voices are heard and they are included in their schools and communities.The challenge for youth workers and teachers is to be effective in their day to day interactions. Using a relational approach which supports engagement while having high expectations, provides the scaffolding for children and youth to achieve their potential. The Restorative worldview supports a holistic practice model that blends traditional indigenous perspectives with current evidence based knowledge of relational practice.
