Children learn ways to work out interpersonal conflicts without fighting.
Unfortunately, Tuggy and Rhonda have very different ideas about what the mural should look like. Despite Missie's attempts to work things out, the conflict turns ugly, and Rhonda and Tuggy start sabotaging each other's work. Eventually they can't even talk to each other, and the entire project is in jeopardy. After taking some time to cool down, Tuggy and Rhonda agree to let Missie mediate the conflict. As Missie takes them through each step of the conflict resolution method, Tuggy and Rhonda begin to see how their communication broke, how their dispute got out of hand, and how they can find a solution that makes them both happy.
