How to Behave in a Conflict Situation


HOW TO STAY OUT OF A CONFLICT SITUATION

1. Do not provoke the person; stay calm!

2. If someone tries to provoke you, don’t get annoyed just ignore the person.

3. Talk to people with respect. If they don’t talk to you with respect you can talk about it with an adult.

4. Listen to other people: maybe they have a good reason to complain.

5. Try to find solutions to problems, which satisfy everyone.

WHAT TO DO IN A CONFLICT SITUATION

1. If you are in a conflict situation, at school, go and tell a teacher. If a teacher isn’t there go see your friends.

2. If nobody is here try to reason him\her up.

3. If the person is going to run after you, go and run to your friends; they can help and support you.

EXAMPLES OF CONFLICT SITUATIONS

Ex N°1: One day someone says they are going to beat you up during class. Go directly to the teacher and then the teacher will tell the child off. There is a risk if you are a boy that they will be even angrier with you and will want to beat you up even more but if you don’t want this to happen try to reason the person up, and if he doesn’t go and see an adult.

Ex N°2: One afternoon, I was playing with my two sisters, Amaris and Emilie, when I started giggling with Amaris. Then Emilie started kicking me, instead of kicking her back I went to tell my mum but my mum ignored me and I was very cross with her. But then she finally listened to me and told my sister to stop.
