Conflict Resolution - Parent 1

Your student is participating in classroom activities helping them learn what is conflict resolution and some ideas that they can do on their own to help them in a 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 to use a strategy to end the situation in a positive way. It is the skill of using a strategy to end a disagreement among 2 or more people in an appropriate manner.

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

• What is a conflict?
• How do you feel when you are in a conflict?
• Why should we attempt to solve the conflict in a good or peaceful way?
• Can you give an example of what can cause a conflict?
• What can happen if you don’t handle a conflict correctly?
