Elijah Explains Stop, Notice, Think
Elijah introduces a strategy for conflict resolution.
When children have a disagreement, it can be useful to break down perspective-taking into three simple steps.
- First, they can stop and take a moment to breathe and focus.
- Next, they can take time to really notice the other person’s body, words, and actions.
- Finally, they can think about how that person might be feeling.
Perspective-taking is often the first step towards healthy conflict resolution.
