* Peace Talks

TALK IT OUT
Materials Needed: A Quarter and A Timer
Toss the quarter to decide who will go first.

The person who wins the toss has 3 to 5 minutes of uninterrupted time to talk about what is bother him/her. The other person would have to listen until the time was up, after which his/her turn to talk uninterrupted would begin. Continue until the issue is resolved or consensus is met.

....TALK IT OUT TIPS...

1. Speak in a calm manner
2. Suggest a constructive way to settle the dispute
3. Listen respectfully as the other person speaks - no eye-rolling or interruptions allowed.

This communication works for kids and their parents (couples)
