Conflict is a part of life, especially among young friends. But without the right guidance, small disagreements can escalate and damage relationships. Fix It With Friends fills that gap: it provides age-appropriate strategies and models for turning tense moments into healthy dialogue.
📖 Sample Moment
Two classmates, Mira and Jonah, both want the same toy during free play time. Instead of shouting, Mira takes a breath and says, “I feel upset when you grab it without asking. Can we take turns?” Jonah, surprised by her calm voice, pauses — then says, “That’s fair. Let’s time it.” They agree. The day is saved.
This simple exchange shows how a “kind voice” can shift conflict into connection.
