This toolkit relates to the blog post on Double-binds.
#1 Double-bind Bingo
The tool that helps you figure out you’re in an impossible situation (but not what to do about it!)
Use this in a safe community to start conversations about how people are experiencing working with and for children. It may just help to normalize sharing discomfort with incongruities that truly do deserve a second look!
#2 Mapping the forks in the road
Mapping the forks in the road honestly and thoroughly – an outline for resolving double-binds as a team.
Use this tool to structure a team discussion on values and vision that ends up with a map to “true north” and a hierarchy of great values (so you can focus on one hard thing at a time, but not invalidate the many good things in your team).
#3 Choosing your path
This tool is for individuals who are struggling with a pulling sensation in their middle! How to figure out if you are in a double-bind is one thing, but what to do next is laid out here. Be warned. There are no easy answers. Just hard choices.
