CONFLICT RESOLUTION
I decided to use the role of mommy for this assignment. I am always in constant conflict at home and it is like I am thrown the middle of the mess and none of my kids take responsibility. All of them are always the victim and so no matter what I decide, I am wrong. As I looked over the reading for this week, I particularly liked the (Allocation of Power) because I think that it would truly help me at home. If I can delegate privileges based on their ages etc, then it will hopefully motivate each of them to be or try to do their best. Since my oldest feels unhear, left out etc, then I would allocate him a larger amount of good responsbility so that he feels special and mature. The other method would be (Compromise). I have issues at home with trying to stick to the rules with the children, so I think that it would help if I were able to give them options and be willing to let them choose and support their decisions. By compromising I am sort of eliminating rage, crying and unwilling behavior, by empowering them with compromise which give them options.
I can definitely use some of the principles of nonviolent communication to resolve this conflict, because through applying the principles, the base issue is uncovered without suggested opinion and it teaches the observer/educator etc, to focus on ways to resolve conflict.
Dear Troyleena,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that you should delegate their privileges based on their ages because no child is the same, and they most differently don’t grow at the same level. So, telling a three year old to do something that you're telling a six year old to do probably want work because their brains don’t operate on the same level. That three year olds process things differently than a six year old, so your commands probably will work better if you delegate their privileges based on their age differences.
