~Conflict Resolution~

I interviewed 3rd & 4th graders about their experiences with conflict.

These are their responses.

When asked:

"How do you solve conflicts?"

  1. tell somebody
  2. try not to argue in the first place
  3. talk it out
  4. beating them up (This what we are trying to avoid.)
  5. punch a pillow

What steps should you take?

  1. no idea
  2. tell somebody before it gets worse
  3. figure out what the problem is
  4. Remember the kid that solved conflicts by fighting?
    Well these are the steps he takes- punch, kick, punch.
  5. the person that punches a pillow said punch, punch, punch.

3 people said they get in 0-5 fights a year.
2 people said they get in 20-45 fights a year.
