2nd Grade Conflict Resolution

2nd Grade is learning about steps to help solve problems, using the DEBUG method.  DEBUG is strategies to help when a conflict arises.  We read through a powerpoint together about a little girl who is struggling with her cousin bothering her.  The girl goes through all of the steps to try and solve the problem by herself but ends up needing help from an adult.  
The steps are:
1. Ignore
2. Walk away
3. Use kind words
4. Use firm words
5. Ask for help
We talk about the difference between kind and firm words and practice.  The kids are left with an easy way to remember how to solve problems on their own.  We also discuss how to ignore, if you cannot move away.  We talk about using "blinders."  Ask your 2nd grader how they use their blinders!
