STRATEGIES FOR SOLVING CONFLICT



CHOOSE WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS

1. Put It Off  Sometimes people are too angry to solve the problem. You may need to cool off and work out the problem.
2. I-message  An I-message lets the other person know how you feel and what you want in a respectful way.
3. Take Turns  First one uses it. Then the other person has a turn.
4. Humor  A good laugh works miracles. Remember to laugh at the problem and not the person.
5. Talk It Over  Many conflicts can be solved by sitting down and talking about the problem.

6. Listen

  Listen to each other. Understand what the person thinks and feels.
7. FORGET IT/SKIP IT  Some conflicts aren’t worth it. Forget about it!
8. APOLOGIZE  Saying sorry can mean different things. You can say sorry when you are wrong. Saying sorry can also mean you feel bad about having a conflict with the person.

9. ASK FOR HELP

  Sometimes you can’t solve a conflict by yourselves and you need someone to help you.
10. PEACE OFFERING  One person gives a little gift to show he/she wants to solve the conflict.
11. GIVE IN  Sometimes it’s not worth the bother. Let the other person have it.
12. SHARE  If two people both want to use something, maybe they can use it at the same time.
13. CHANCE Luck decides who wins. Both people agree to accept the "flip of the coin", "hands on the bat", "odds and evens", "shorter straw", "which hand", "rock, paper, scissors", etc.
14. COMPROMISE

 

 Both give up something and both get something.
