Conflict Resolution Strategies

Disagreements happen. You can try these steps: pause and use a calm voice; take turns speaking and listening; say how you feel using “I feel … when …”; think of ideas together; agree on a fair next step. If anyone feels unsafe or the problem will not stop, get help from a trusted adult.

Choose a helpful strategy

1.Ivy and Isla both want the same football at lunchtime. What is a conflict?

A disagreement or problem between people
A game that everyone agrees on
A feeling of being excited

2.Which action is most likely to help Ivy and Isla solve the problem?

Shout until one person gives up
Take turns explaining what they want and listen
Walk away with the ball

3.Choose the best “I” statement for a child whose drawing was moved without asking.

“You are so annoying!”
“I feel upset when my drawing is moved without asking.”
“You always ruin everything!”

4.True or false: Active listening means waiting for your turn, paying attention and not interrupting.

Try the steps in real situations

5.Mei and Zach both want to choose the class game. Write one calm “I feel … when …” statement one of them could say.

6.A group has started an activity without you, and you feel left out. Write a respectful sentence asking to join or share your feeling.

7.Two friends disagree about the rules of a playground game. Write two fair steps they could try before asking an adult for help.

8.Fill in the missing word: When people speak one at a time, they take to speak.

9.A disagreement is getting louder and neither child feels listened to. What is one safe, helpful thing they could do next?

10.Why can listening carefully help people solve a disagreement?

11.Think of a made-up playground disagreement. Write what each person might say or do to solve it respectfully. You may include a calm “I” statement and a fair next step.
