How can I solve arguments effectively and fairly?
Today, we started our session with a Grandmother’s footsteps Game! After, we had a discussion based on these questions:
How did you feel in the game of grandmother’s footsteps.
Did it seem fair?
Was anyone getting a bit cross about being sent back?
Our discussion was very emotional.
"You did it, because you like them, not me as a friend!" ~ Ayah
"I felt so cross with her, it wasn't fair!" ~ Malak
"I tried my best and I was sent back." ~ Hajir
Then, we talked about what counts as an argument and if arguments are always bad.
"When both people get angry, they shout at each other and say some nasty things." ~ Muzamil
"When you argue, you hurt people's feelings." ~ Amber
"Sometimes people get furious and they hurt each other physically." ~ Romeo
"Arguing is like a conversation, so it can be good." ~ Suhayla
We also wrote on postits some of the reasons why people might argue and then we talked about how can we resolve arguments.
