What is a conflict?

LEAPS! Conflict Resolution • There a lot of students in your class. There a lot of kids at this school. There are people at your home and there all kinds of people everywhere we go. • If you go to the grocery store or theater, from church to the park—there a lot of people everywhere. • Because there are so many people everywhere, there will be times when you disagree with someone about something. When you disagree with someone and you both have strong feelings about your side of the disagreement this is called a conflict. Conflicts occur all of the time.

• What is important when you have a conflict is to understand why you are disagreeing, understand your side and the side of the other person, and then be able to talk and work together to figure out the right thing to do. • When you work together to figure out the right thing to do it is called working to a resolution. ”

Conflict Resolution Formula • WHAT IS MY ROLE? What are your words or actions that are part of the conflict? • WHO ELSE IS INVOLVED? How many other people are there and who are they? • AM I MAD? You have to know if you are mad or not. If you are mad then there is a good chance you aren’t thinking clearly. • WHAT DOES THE OTHER PERSON WANT? You have to stop and really try to understand what the other person is wanting.

• AM I WILLING TO DO IT? Decide if you are willing to do what the other person wants or not. • IS THERE A MIDDLE GROUND? Is there a solution that will make everyone involved happy. • HAVE I DONE EVERYTHING I CAN? If you have and conflict still exists then you need to walk away or find help from an adult.

YOU TOO CAN RESOLVE CONFLICTS IF YOU WILL FOLLOW THE FORMULA, CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS, AND BE WILLING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS BEST FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. CONFLICT IS NOT THE SAME AS FIGHTING AND RESOLUTION IS NOT THE SAME AS GIVING UP.

You are smart and can handle conflicts without fighting. You can stand up for yourself without getting angry. You are smart enough to know how to listen and understand each other and resolve your conflicts.
