Directions:
The next time your child has a conflict with a friend or a sibling, remind them of the importance of telling each other how they feel.
Invite the children to the 'Peace Table". (It can be any table with two chairs in your home, or just two pillows set up in the corner of the room.)
Let children know that at the "Peace Table", everyone talks about how they feel. Ask each child to talk about how he feels.
When they are finished sharing their feelings, ask the children to think of ways that they can solve the problem. Remind them that it is only a good solution if they both agree to it.
If they have trouble agreeing, give suggestions that offer a fair way of resolving the conflict.
