Need help with my Social Science question – I’m studying for my class.

please respond to dana with 300 words

1.) The guidance tool I feel has the better outcome to most situations is conflict resolution.

2.) I choose this tool because of the many steps it takes to neutralize the situation and the children and clearly see what they are doing is not the right way to handle it and teaches them a more correct way to solve the problem the next time something were to occur. “We find that young children are interested in this process and, with patient facilitation from adults, they quickly start to use it effectively on their own” (Feeney, Moravcik, & Nolte, 2019, p.204).

3.) Detailed description of the steps I would take:

Step 1: I would calmly walk up to both students and ask them one at a time what the problem is, giving them both the opportunity to tell their side of the story. If one child is not letting the other child speak, I would ask to talk to them separately. I feel this would help the children understand the situation and know their voice is being heard.

Step 2: I would make sure they understand what would happen to the book if they continued to play tug of war with the book “If you keep tugging on the book, you can rip the book and if you rip the book no one would be able to read it”. They may or may not like it at first but I feel this would be beneficial for both students.

Step 3: I would suggest they take turns reading the book or maybe read the book together. This way they both can read the book and possibly learn new words that one child may know but not the other. This could ensue a friendship between the two children.

Step 4: I would state the classroom rules to restate them so they know what the rules are and what the consequences would be if they did not follow the classroom rules. The children will feel like their voices are heard and know that there are consequences for their actions.

4.) The short-term goals would be to behave in ways that promote safety, use toys, tools, and materials carefully, and follow classroom rules and routines (Feeney, Moravcik, & Nolte, 2019). A long-term goal would be to build inner control, self-discipline, and the ability to self-regulate (Feeney, Moravcik, & Nolte, 2019)
