A counseling unit designed to teach conflict resolution skills. Kindergarten through fourth grade. This unit is about conflict resolution and the many interpersonal skills needed to make conflict resolution possible. I teach these skills to kindergarten through fourth grade students. Since conflict is a natural part of life it doesn t have to bad or be something to be avoided it can be productive.
Conflict is caused by different beliefs, different points of view or different ideas.
These same differences help to make our world a wonderful and exciting place to live. The key to conflict is in how it is handled. Many individuals, especially children need help in learning how to manage conflict effectively. Without skills and practice, a simple disagreement, look, sign or remark can turn into a fistfight or worse. This unit is designed to develop and expand student s vocabulary and to teach non-violent ways to resolve conflicts.
