This ongoing group course is perfect for preteens who need extra skills, strategies, and confidence as they navigate unavoidable conflict in their lives. This session can be as personalized, or general as needed. Each student will complete a conflict resolution style assessment. Using this information, we will explore skills and techniques to peacefully confront conflict in the future. During our coaching groups, the student will learn: Navigating Peer Relationships Managing group dynamics Handling more complex emotions Effective Communication Active Listening skills I-Statements Respectful Disagreements Learn about the Stages of Conflict Learn about the 5 Responses to Conflict Setting Boundaries Conflict Resolution Theories, Strategies and Techniques Negotiation , Arbitration and Mediation Conflict Resolution Role Plays Students will gain confidence and self efficacy in their ability to use their newly learned skills. Children will be able to use these skills to better resolve disagreements between friends, constant arguing with parents, sibling bickering/rivalry/jealousy, boyfriend/girlfriend disputes, teacher/coach aversion and resentment, etc. It is recommended that students enroll in 2-4 sessions to take a deeper dive into developing these skill sets. Classes will be a mixture of slides, interactive role plays, games, and discussion.
Learning Goals
