The talk on raising
boys vs. girls emphasizes the importance of understanding and embracing
differences in parenting styles for each gender. The focus is on practical tips
and strategies for parents to best support their children's growth and
development.
Isolet Jansen
A mediator is not a judge or a referee, but an impartial and objective
facilitator helping families find bespoke solutions when in conflict. Mediation
is the foundation of building lasting relationships. I have a heart for
families to live in peace and believe that through mediation we can find a way
to live a peaceful life regardless of what our family setup looks like. Whether
we are dealing with the trauma of divorce or that of a family dispute, through
listening and unconditional regard, together we can find a better way forward.
Corlia Erwee
I
believe that people can overcome difficult circumstances. We never, ever have
to stay where we are. My life story is a testimony of restoration and healing.
Sometimes we just need someone to come alongside of us to help us see the open
doors and realise that our mountains are not that big. I also believe in a
systemic approach.

The paper on Peer Mediation in Secondary Schools is an attempt to support the development of structured programs to manage conflict resolution in schools. Research has revealed alarming increases in school violence over the last decade, and the statistics are disturbing and upsetting. Misconduct and disruptive behaviour critically impair effective curriculum delivery. How to deal with this problem is one of the most underestimated aspects of teacher training and is exacerbated by the relevant educational laws not being specific on how to address it. This clearly is a pressing issue which needs urgent attention.
SAS
OTTO studied BA and B.Ed at the University of Stellenbosch and also completed
his PTD at Wellington Teachers College. He successfully completed his Mediation
studies in 2019 through the Social Justice Foundation (NPO 165-067) (accredited
by NABFAM and SACSSP) and is now an accredited mediator in Family and Divorce
Mediation and Family Law and Maintenance. While in the teaching profession, he
was often consulted by principals and SGB members of schools because of his
experience and skills with disciplinary hearings and his knowledge of the
schools’ act.Please take note: ©

Parent Effectiveness: How To Create A
Safe Space In A Relationship (Presenter: Karen Badenhorst)
In this day
and age of constant improvement, further education, and career progression, we
are continually busy improving, learning, and growing. We ensure that we stay
on top of the latest developments in our careers, we acquire a coach at the gym
or enroll for a cooking course. Yet, as parents, we do not have the same drive
to develop and grow in our lives' most important role.
When one parent
starts to criticize, dismiss, and eliminate anything good from the other
parent, they indirectly dismiss the part of the child that identifies with the
other parent too. When it comes to
divorce, each child will respond differently and their fears, concerns, and
questions will be different depending on their stage of development,
personality, and attachment style. All
of these elements have to be considered when dealing with families in crisis.
Understanding their behaviour, will help the mediation process and planning. It
will also ensure that the voice of the child is understood within this context. Presenters: Corlia Erwee and Isolet Jansen

A pioneer in pet custody. She teaches divorce professionals how to work effectively with the range of possibilities they may encounter in pet custody. For example, how might a dog cope with joint custody? Can multiple dogs be split up or do they need to be kept together? What about visitations? Dog breeds are very different; should you treat a Beagle the same as a Rottweiler? And what if your clients have a puppy, or an elderly dog, what then?
