Separate Identities.
Good Communication.
Mutual Respect meaning
Always taking into consideration the other person’s feelings. They never try to take advantage of each other and their friendship.
Trust meaning
When friends can share their feelings with one another and not feel worried or afraid that they will be judged.
Honesty meaning
When friends tell each other the truth about what they are thinking and/or feeling and do this with great care so as not to hurt the other person.
Support meaning
They encourage each other, offer help to one another (i.e. homework, advice) and ultimately support each other by spending time together and being kind.
Fairness/Equity meaning.
When friends treat each other fairly, they understand each other’s needs, strengths, and limitations, and work together to ensure inclusivity.
Separate identities meaning
Encouraging others to pursue their own interests.
Good communication meaning
When a friend tells us something is bothering them, we must never minimize or ignore the message. When they repeat themselves about the same thing a few times, that especially is a sign that something is truly upsetting them.
Steps to deal with conflict
Do Unto Others.
Remember to approach people with whom you are in conflict the same way you’d like others to approach you.
Go to the source and get the facts straight
Don’t gossip with others about someone and make assumptions about what he or she did or said. Instead, approach the person directly, and ask them what is happening. Be mindful of your tone of voice and ensure no one else will interfere or interrupt. Involving a third party often leads to confusion and inevitably makes matters worse.
Give People the Benefit of the Doubt.
Avoid making the issue personal. If a conflict arose, assume the best in the other person and consider it could be merely an oversight. Remember: People can’t change that they don’t know.
Take a Problem- Solving approach
Listen to one another, identify the problem (ex. Feeling excluded, disrespected, unheard), think of a few different solutions, pick one you think will work best, and agree to give it a try.
