Session 9
A Humanist approach - communication & congruence
The approaches explained by Carl Rogers, Haim Ginott and Thomas Gordon are clear and everyday models that emphasis understanding, empathy and communication as the essential components for the management of children ( and adults).

These videos from Haim Ginott give a short explanation of some of the key skills using this approach. While they may seem obvious and easy when faced with a difficult student they become more difficult to apply.


Have a look at this outline for both teachers and students about different applications for I - messages.
