We watched a YouTube video that shared 9 conflict resolution skills (the one with Tim and Moby the robot)...

List 2 of those conflict resolution skills.

  • You can start out by explaining how you feel in a calm, respectful way. Then, let the other person express their point of view.
  • Show that you're paying attention by making eye contact and nodding. And when someone else is talking, be sure you really listen.
  • Think about how you would feel if it was you in that situation.
  • People are more reasonable when they see that you understand where they're coming from
  • It helps to think of the other person as your partner, not your enemy. The real enemy is the problem you’re both trying to solve.
  • Still, if things get a little too heated, you might want to call in another person to mediate the dispute. It can be anyone you trust to be fair: a family member, a friend, a classmate, even a teacher.
  • The mediator can decide when it's each person's time to talk, and make sure that everyone acts in a respectful manner.
  • The best solutions involve a compromise, each side gives a little ground.
  • Instead of the dispute ending with one person losing, we get a win-win situation.
