conflict and scenarios

today we are learning to resolve conflicts and being assertive. and this activity we had to read a scenario and stop the conflict in a good way. I wonder why people even start conflicts.


Michael invited Tracey to come over to his house after school. As they were walking to Michael’s house they see a younger kid they know from school. The younger kid is by himself riding his skateboard. Michael wants to mess with this kid, just to play around, but Tracey is uncomfortable with that idea.


in this story Tracey can tell Michael to stop in a polite way.
