3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #  27  /  January 12, 2021

How to solve a problem like Maria… remember that iconic song from one of the most favourite movies of all times, The Sound of Music? Well, over the years parents and teachers have been working with their children together to not just teach them new knowledge but also to learn life skills. A big one being conflict resolution, making and maintaining friends. As the pandemic continues to rage, one thing that our children miss most is their friends. As do we, as grown-ups. Here are some tips to make and maintain friends and also to resolve conflict amongst all ages, as and when they arise. Conflict between parents and children are now more often and intense with most of us living, working, studying at home for over a year now. Find some tips in Dorothy’s talk in the video of the week in this issue to help you mediate.
