November Counseling Lesson Theme: Conflict Resolution
How to Help your Child Solve Conflicts
Coach Them Through It
Each conflict your child encounters can be a learning experience. Each of these experiences, if handled well, will add up to a child who is able to resolve their own conflicts peacefully. Instead of “rescuing” or solving your child’s problems, coach them through it. Support them when needed, but ultimately leave them to find a reasonable solution to the problem.
I-Messages
Teach your child how to give an “I” message. The format looks like this, “I feel ___, when you ___, please___.” For example, I feel upset when you call me that name, please stop. This format places emphasis on how the child is feeling, and not on who is to blame.
Apologizing
Sometimes your child may be on the offending side of a conflict. It’s important that your child knows how to give an apology. Here is a helpful format. “You felt ___ when I ___, next time I will ___.” For example, you felt angry when I took your toy, next time I will ask before I borrow it.
Practice!
Use any opportunity to discuss conflict resolution with your child. If your child is struggling with conflict resolution, it may be helpful to “role play” how they could appropriately react to situations that they may face at school.
