Fighting Fair
People can have problems with each other, get angry and upset and still get along and learn to sort out their differences. What is important is that when you fight, you fight fair!Fighting fair means that you...
- work together to sort out a solution to a problem
- avoid:
- saying mean things that will hurt the other persons feelings
- talking about their secrets or things that have happened in the past
- screaming and shouting
- hitting, kicking or pushing (or anything that will hurt the other persons body)
- try to:
- understand - say what you are feeling about the problem and then listen carefully to what the other person is feeling
- look for a solution - once you have both listened and understood what the problem is, you need to look for a solution that both people feel ok about
