Peer Mediation Issues
Co-operation
It is better to try to get on with each other all the time. One way to do this is by co-operating. This means not always having to get our own way, sharing and working together.
Conflict
Conflict is another word for falling out, arguments and disagreements. Conflict is really going against something. We can make conflicts worse by being stubborn, nasty, not saying sorry when we should or talking behind someone’s back. We can make conflict better by listening to the other person’s point of view, saying sorry if we should, trying not to be nasty and getting an agreement.
Feelings
When we fall out with someone we can have many different feelings. A mediator asks two people who are in conflict how they feel about what happened and about what has been said about the other person. It is good to be able to say how you are feeling.
Why not have a practice by printing out the feelings sheet and finishing the sentences
