Conflict Resolution

This week, our Footprints for Life story focused on healthy problem solving, and you were introduced to the Solution Stoplight. This is a method that everyone, including your parents/guardians, can use in their everyday lives.

When you use the Solution Stoplight, you should treat the other person or people with respect and there should be no blaming or put-downs. Each person must listen with an open mind and work together to find a solution to the problem that everyone can accept.

The following is a guide to the Solution Stoplight:

	Red		Stop. Take time to cool off. Take deep breaths or count to ten.
	Yellow		Approach the situation slowly and with caution. Each person gives an “I” Message and states the problem as they see it. Everyone works together to brainstorm as many solutions as possible.
	Green		Go. Choose the idea on which everyone can agree.
