Everyday Conflicts: Conflict Resolution

Product Description

Conflicts between elementary students can arise for many reasons including resources, needs, values, and beliefs. In the classroom, on the playground, or on the bus, these conflicts can many times escalate into a physical altercation. Everyday Conflicts helps students to learn simple strategies and techniques for resolving conflicts.

This program presents a variety of typical, age-appropriate scenarios with children resolving conflicts with their peers. Everyday Conflicts will provide opportunities for developing necessary skills such as effective communication, cooperation, compromise, and the affirmation of each child, all part of the process of conflict resolution. This program demonstrates to children how they can work out their own differences and recognize the issues that they may not be able to handle and where adult intervention may be required. Students will learn that sometimes it is okay to ask for help.

Watching Everyday Conflicts and participating in the related activities of the program will help your students learn alternatives to fighting as a way to solve their disputes.
