In school, through a literature and proficiency based activity, your child will develop, then practice conflict management skills. Your child will then be encouraged to bring the activity home and share it with the family. Like Home Suggested Activities Page will summarize the lesson and offer suggestions for family involvement through Refrigerator Art, Memory Builder or Family Chat activities. Conflict is a natural and normal part of everyday life. It is going to happen anytime, anywhere and in all families.
Conflicts are a part of living and growing.
How we handle the conflict depends on our own life experiences and our own feelings about disagreements. As parents, many of us find ourselves dissatisfied and frustrated with the way we handle conflicts in the home. We know that responding to an unpleasant situation in a stressed, out of control manner, not only disrupts the home environment but doesn't provide the opportunity for positive change. As adults, we desire to improve the ability to deal appropriately with conflicts. Attending directly to the core of the problem and not the chaos attached to it, enables a parent to respond effectively and generally alleviates the corresponding chaos.
