REVIEW:
This site is designed to help students -- elementary school students in particular -- with conflict resolution issues.
Posing questions about how to deal with unfriendly remarks from friends,
sibling problems, and angry feelings, the site stresses the importance
of listening to others and communicating your feelings. For each exercise, users are given the option of
of running away, fighting, or using the "Think
and Share" choice; to promote healthy conflict resolution, the site lists many positive results that come from choosing
the last option. Situations are developed to allow students to explore
these choices and the many emotions involved. The
teachers' guide has lesson plans, worksheets in .pdf format, and resource
links to other conflict resolution organizations. |
