Conflict A good friend is worth a little conflict!

Handling Conflict DRA Describe Request Affirm Describe what specifically is bothering you Try to keep the discussion to current issues, not events that occurred years ago or things that have been going on for a long time that they now finally have the courage to bring up. Request Request what you do or do not want from the other person. The request must be reasonable Affirm Affirm the person and or your relationship Examples: I really value you as a friend, but the way you are treating me is affecting our relationship You are a great person and I enjoy our friendship, so hopefully you will respect me enough to stop doing this.

Role Play -Pick a Partner One person needs to be a parent Pretend to ask you parent for something and switch

Items to Remember This works better one on one, not if front of people The other person may not be ready to resolve things. The emotion of anger takes a lot more energy than simply being kind or resolving conflict with intellect A respectful manner and calm manner will help the other person know that they care Reconciliation may not always be possible, we only control 50 % Taken from the STEP UP PROGRAM
