I've taken on creating an elementary-based school mediation program and, although I have some innovative ideas around coaching young kids on the needs behind negative behaviors, I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I thought we could all benefit from sharing some ideas around how our school deals with conflict. What have you done that produces long-term results? After talking to another school counselor, she said she painted 2 sets of footprints facing each other on the school playground so that they deal with any conflict right there and then, while a mediator helps. What a grrreat idea! Thank you for your contribution! Positively, Jessie ___________________________________ Jessie Upp, M.S.
