  1. Ignore it. (It takes more courage to walk away than to stay and fight.)
  • Do something else. (Find another game or activity.)
  • Leave long enough for a cooling-off period, then follow-up with the next steps.
  1. Talk it over respectfully.
  • Tell the other person how you feel. Let him or her know you don’t like what is happening.
  • Listen to what the other person says about how he or she feels and what he or she doesn’t like.
  • Share what you think you did to contribute to the problem.
  • Tell the other person what you are willing to do differently.
  1. Agree together on a solution. For example:
  • Work out a plan for sharing or taking turns.
  • Apologize
  1. Ask for help if you can’t work it out together.
  • Put it on the class meeting agenda. (This can also be a first choice and is not meant as a last resort.)
  • Talk it over with a parent, teacher, or friend.

After discussing these skills, have the children role-play the following hypothetical situations. Have them solve each of the situations four different ways (one for each of the steps).

  1. Fighting over whose turn it is to use the tetherball.
  2. Shoving in line.
  3. Calling people bad names.
  4. Fighting over whose turn it is to sit by the window in the car or bus.

Teachers can put the Four Problem-Solving Steps on a laminated poster for students to refer to. Some teachers require that children use these steps before they put a problem on the agenda. Other teachers prefer the class meeting process because it teaches other skills. Instead of making one better than the other (class meeting or one-on-one), let children choose which option they would prefer at the moment.
