Conflict Resolution - Parent 3

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

Definition: Conflict resolution is the ability to assess a social situation that is not going well and develop strategies to improve current and future interactions. It involves two or more people working together to find a peaceful solution to a disagreement or problem.

Student Goal: The student will use conflict resolution strategies in an educational setting.

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

• What is a conflict?
• What are some examples of when conflict may occur?
• How are conflicts resolved?
• What can happen if you don’t handle a conflict correctly?
• Allow your child to share any conflicts they have had with friends or family members. Discuss how the conflict could have been resolved in a positive way.
