1-1 Mentoring
The best decision I've ever made
"Was besseres hätte mir gar nicht passieren können und ich hoffe, dass ganz viele Leute dieses 1-1 Mentoring-Angebot wahrnehmen. Der Floortime Ansatz hat mir wirklich geholfen, die Kinder realistisch einschätzen zu können. Alle anderen Ansätze, die ich bisher kannte, setzen kognitiv viel zu hoch an: das Basale fehlt überall. Von der Waldon Methode hätte ich sonst nie erfahren, - und ich benutze sie jetzt viel."
Elke Fellmann, Special Education Teacher
Why 1-1 Mentoring?
Mentoring is aimed at professionals and involves a professional learning partnership between two people in which one experienced person shares their professional life experiences and supports the other person in expanding their professional competencies and individual potential to acquire additional value.
Mentoring has a developmental focus (as opposed to the more goal-oriented focus of coaching): we work in a process-oriented way without a pre-determined goal, because the goal is to support and encourage you in your individual way of working, to develop your own values and skills, to recognize strengths and talents, and to discover and liberate your individual potential.

The missing piece of the puzzle
"Die detaillierten Videoanalysen im 1-1 Mentoring mit Sibylle haben mir wie nichts anderes geholfen, das fehlende Puzzleteil zu finden und zu verstehen, was wirklich passiert, - auf der emotionalen Ebene im Kind selber, zu sehen, wie ich noch passender reagieren und meine Stimme benutzen könnte, um das Kind zu erreichen und zu fördern."

Your own process of development
Mentoring is a development process in a one-to-one relationship between mentor and mentee. This development process is dynamic and tailored to the mentee's respective needs, i.e., without fixed expectations, procedures, structures, or pressure to perform. Mentoring is an individual development learning process that mentor and mentee shape together. Both meet regularly over a longer period of time in a protected setting for exchange and discussion.

Individual support
"Die individuelle Betreuung im 1-1 Mentoring von Sibylle hat mir wirklich geholfen, die nächste Stufe in meiner eigenen Floortimepraxis zu erreichen und mich von meinen eigenen eingefahrenen Mustern und dem Fokus auf Verhaltensänderung in meiner Einrichtung zu befreien."
Maria Lehnert, curative teacher
"Der Weg zum Ziel"
"Die DIRFloortime Methode hat mich in meinem Ansatz, die Kinder dort abzuholen, wo sie stehen und sie auf ihrer Reise durch die Welt (oder oft auch in die Welt) zu begleiten, bestätigt und bestärkt. Und mehr Wert auf die Beziehung und Motivation des Kindes zu legen. Was ich mir auch mitnehme, ist die Wahl der Spielmaterialien und dass man aus "so wenig" "so viel" machen kann. Auch, dass der Weg zum Ziel und der Dialog und die Interaktion dabei wichtiger ist als das Ziel selbst. In meiner Arbeit möchte ich Floortime nicht mehr missen."
Barbara Cidej, Individual care in kindergarten
