Conflict resolution is just a fancy way of saying settling a disagreement. What if two people want the last helping of dessert – is that a conflict? Two people want to sit next to the window on a road trip – another conflict. Two people want to be first in line – is that a conflict?
There’s an easy way to resolve all conflicts. Arguing, shouting and pushing will not resolve the conflict or disagreement. The easiest way to resolve a conflict is to do rock, paper, scissors. Everyone has done rock, paper, scissors before.
Think rock, paper, scissors will resolve any conflict? Absolutely, and then you can get on with whatever you were doing and nobody gets hurt or upset.
Don’t forget healthy kids are no accident. Next time you have a disagreement – try rock, paper, scissors.
