== Practice Exercises ==
We can practice restorative and connected communication with some exercises designed to simulate real-world situations.
* '''Observations:''' Practice making observations in a neutral, descriptive way without including judgements or blame.
* '''Feelings & Needs:''' Practice expressing how you're feeling about something and what needs you might feel aren't being met.
* '''[[Empathy Guesses]]:''' Practice guessing what the other person might be feeling in particular situations and clarifying till you figure it out. This develops familiarity with the Feelings & Needs Inventories and makes it easier to get it right more quickly.
* '''Making offers & requests:''' Practice offering and requesting things that would meet both parties' needs for mutual understanding.
== Communication Habit Practice ==
# List some of your communication habits you use often.
# List some of the listening habits that often bother you.
## Eg. Storytelling. Telling people how you had the same problem or your family member did.
# List some needs they might be fulfilling by using those strategies.
# Have someone share a problem they're having and have everyone practice interrupting and using the habits in response to show all the examples.
# Take turns sharing a non-serious problem scenario and first give habit-based responses for 2 minutes then switch to empathetic listening where you ask questions like "I hear you saying that when you saw X happen you felt Y because you need Z and its difficult to feel like you're getting Z..."
== Connected Conversation Practice ==
Both sharea  chunk at a time and reflect before moving on.
