This worksheet asks you to think about good ways to handle problems (conflicts) with friends, family, or chores. Since there are no single "right" answers for social situations, here are some helpful and positive solutions for each scenario shown on the page:
1. You and your brother want to play with the same toy.
*
Solution: Take turns! You can use a timer to see who gets to play first, or try to find a different toy that you both like so you can play together.
2. Someone says mean words to you.
*
Solution: Use your words, not your hands. Tell them calmly, "Please stop, I don't like that." If they keep doing it, walk away and tell a trusted adult like a teacher or parent.
3. You do not want to clean up your mess.
*
Solution: Cleaning is easier if you make it fun! Try putting on a song and seeing if you can pick everything up before the song ends. Or, ask a parent if you can have a little help to get started.
4. You do not want to eat your dinner.
*
Solution: Talk to your parents politely. You can say, "I'm not very hungry right now," or ask if you can try just a few bites. It is important to be respectful even if you don't like the food.
Final Answer:
Here are positive ways to solve the conflicts:
1.
Toy Conflict: Take turns playing with the toy or choose a different game to play together.
2.
Mean Words: Tell the person to stop nicely, walk away, and tell an adult if it continues.
3.
Cleaning Mess: Make cleaning fun by using a timer or music, or ask for help getting started.
4.
Dinner: Politely tell your parents you aren't hungry or ask if you can try just a small amount.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of conflict resolution worksheet.
