Max refuses and in no time the boys are in a pushing and shoving match. How to stop this conflict? Before the pushing and shoving starts, Max walks away. As the Host explains, "You can't fight with someone who isn't there." Nine other vignettes illustrate the top conflict starters and stoppers, including the #1 way to avoid a conflict: if you're wrong, apologize and say you're sorry.
Students will: Recognize the top ten causes of conflict; Diffuse escalating conflicts by using one or more of the top ten conflict stoppers; and, Understand that the outcome of a conflict will be based on the choices they make.
