The Conflict Resolution Wheel

Step by step

1. 1Print the 6-solution wheel (ask nicely, take turns, ask for help, walk away...) and attach the spinner arrow.
2. 2Introduce it WHEN CALM: act out each solution together in a quick, playful mini-scene.
3. 3Hang it at eye level right where arguments usually happen.
4. 4After a real fight, wait until everyone calms down—never in the middle of a meltdown. Comfort first, then: 'Go pick a fix on the wheel.'
5. 5Let them spin, pick THEIR solution, and actually try it out.
6. 6Cheer every time they use it on their own, and let your child draw or write their own new solution on the wheel.

What it builds

Little kids feel big storms of emotions during a fight, but they rarely know how to fix it. This wheel gives them a menu of fair options and the power to choose: a solution they pick themselves is always much easier to follow through.
