Support and Responsibility: in conflict 15. Most support people dread taking Maia out in public. She means well but always says embarrassing things to strangers. You have to apologize to a lot to people you don't know then be ready to move Maia along quickly!

 

 

Points to Ponder:

• How is this story an example of support and responsibility in conflict?
• In this situation, what proportion of the responsibility is Maia's and what proportion belongs to the people who support her?
• How could Maia's support people help her to take more responsibility for the things she says?
