Highlights
A conflict arises when two people have different opinions or disagree on something. It can happen anywhere. To avoid conflict, it's best to respect others' opinions, ideas, thoughts, and feelings. However, if conflict is unavoidable, there are ways to resolve it.
The most important rule in a conflict is not to fight. Fights don't solve anything and can make things worse, especially with physical aggression. Remember that violence is never the solution. Always tell a trusted adult if you see or are involved in a fight, even if someone threatens you to keep silent.
Instead of fighting, talk. Listen to the other person and express your feelings and thoughts kindly and respectfully. Friends don't always have to agree on everything, but they must always respect each other.
Work together to find a solution. Think of it like a puzzle where everyone needs to find the right piece to make everyone happy.
If you can't resolve the conflict alone, don't be afraid to ask a trusted adult for help. Together, you can find a solution.
The four steps to resolving conflicts are: do not fight, listen and respect each other, work together, and ask for help if needed. Conflict resolution is a powerful skill that will benefit you throughout your life.
