Handling Disagreements - Parent 3

Your child is participating in classroom activities focused on learning how to respectfully disagree with someone. We would love for you to keep the discussion going at home!

Definitions: To disagree is to have differing feelings or opinions from others.

Student Goal: In social situations, the student will disagree politely with another.

Here are just a few ideas to help get the conversation started:

• What does it mean to disagree?
• Is it okay to disagree?
• What are the consequences of disagreeing?
• Refrain from putting others down or using hurtful words when disagreeing.
• Listen to other points of view.
• Avoid using abusive language when disagreeing.
• Allow your child to share any situations when they disagreed with someone. Discuss if your child used respectful/polite language or not.
