Young people often have a hard time understanding and remembering abstract concepts. One way to combat this problem is to create a “conflict tool box”.
Helping our children and students feel empowered is an important part of helping them constructively deal with conflicts in their daily lives.
Teaching young people empowerment is one of the best ways to decrease conflict in their lives. Empowerment is having the ability, power, and authority to act on your own behalf.
As teachers and parents it is our role to teach young people how to effectively manage their anger and other emotions before a problem arises.
