When students have conflicts with others during the day, we highly encourage them to try and solve the problem on their own. During our friendship unit we will spend a great deal of time teaching students different strategies for solving their problems. We use Kelso’s Choices to show students these strategies. We will introduce a few of these strategies such as counting to ten or walking away during our first unit so that they are already able to solve problems. Please help to reinforce the strategies at home as well. For more information please visit
Children ocasionally become embroiled in conflict and I think that when handling conflicts They develop their social skills as well as their own character.
We believe so, too. Students will become their own advocates and maybe that of others once they learn how to use the skills here to solve their problems. They also take ownership of the choices they make to resolve issues and become more confident, responsible, and independent. 🙂

Hello Rita,
I added another picture of Kelso’s Wheel. Hopefully this is a better quality image. Thank you for your feedback!
Have a good day,
