The characters in the story are:
-
Molly
-
Bella

2. What is the problem?
The problem in the story is that Molly and Bella were supposed to take turns on the swing, but Bella did not get off the swing after Molly counted to 100. Molly felt upset because she wanted her turn, but Bella insisted it was still her turn because Molly counted too fast.

3. Where does the story take place?
The story takes place at the
playground.

4. How does Molly solve the problem?
Molly solves the problem by using an "I message." She expresses her feelings to Bella in a calm and clear way. Molly tells Bella how she feels (sad), why she feels that way (because they were supposed to take turns after 100 seconds), and asks Bella to get off the swing. Specifically, Molly says:
> "Bella, I feel sad because we were supposed to take turns after 100 seconds. Will you please get off?"
After Molly uses this approach, Bella gets off the swing, and Molly is happy because she solved the problem herself.
