Learning Objectives:
Consider whether conventional disciplinary strategies teach kids the skills on the better side of human nature (they don't);
Consider whether conflict is inevitable in our interactions with our kids (it's not);
Learn the three steps for solving problems collaboratively so as to ensure that kids benefit from adults' wisdom, experience, and values.
