You want to see a movie, but your friend wants to go to the park. You want to do your geography project about France, but your partner wants to study Italy. Conflict happens all the time. It’s a normal part of life, and it’s not necessarily bad! It’s perfectly OK for people to have different opinions and disagree about something. It’s how people handle conflict that matters. If it’s handled in a good way, the conflict can end quickly with both people getting part of what they want, or at least not ending up in a big fight. If it’s not handled as well, well...that’s when the conflict can get out of hand and end in hurt feelings.

won’t turn into a fight if the conflict is handled appropriately.

c)

isn’t normal, and people who don’t agree about everything shouldn’t be friends.

d)

is a fair opportunity for friends to hurt each other’s feelings.

22.

Have you ever heard someone say, “The conflict was heated”? That means there were a lot of strong emotions. Imagine the conflict as a pot of boiling water, about to bubble over. When conflicts get heated, take a break to cool down. Walk away and take a deep breath. You don’t want to get upset and say something you don’t really mean. After you cool down, you can think more clearly. Then, it’s easier to figure out how to resolve the conflict!

You can ask an adult for help resolving a conflict. This could be a parent, a teacher, a coach or another adult who will be as fair as possible to everyone involved in the conflict. This person might have more ideas for compromises that you didn’t think of yet. Or, they might help you keep track of different ways of resolving the conflict and talk about each one.

a)

Walking away lets you calm down and think of ways to resolve the conflict.

b)

Walking away gives you time to think of mean things to say.

c)

Walking away gives you time to find an adult who will take your side.

d)

Walking away gives you time to find friends who will take your side and join in.

23.

A compromise is a great way to resolve a conflict. When you compromise, both people don’t get everything they want, but each person gets some of what they want...which is better than getting nothing at all! For example, if you and your brother each want to watch a different television show at the same time, you might have to compromise. Maybe you’ll agree to watch the first half of your show and then the second half of his. A fun way to resolve a conflict is to work with the other person to brainstorm a list of all the ways you could compromise. Then, pick one together.
