Today I mediated a conflict between three children. I love that in our school we have the time to go through this process with the children. A little girl who had been feeling hurt expressed herself while the other two children listened and then she made a request of them. They agreed to the request.
One of the other children also made a request and all of them even made suggestions as to what to do if, for some reason, one of them didn't hold true to their word. In the end, they all hugged each other and went back in the classroom to work on a project together.
Wow, I wish to see the day when adults handle things with as much grace and courage as these children.
