Kelso's Choices- Conflict Resolution
-
Kelso's Choice Wheel
Kelso the frog teaches students how to solve "small" problems on their own. "Small" problems include conflicts that cause "small" feelings of annoyance,
embarrasssment, boredom, etc. "Big" problems always need to be taken to an adult. These are situations that are scary, dangerous, illegal, etc.
Kelso has nine choices to solve "small problems." These are illustrated in the Kelso's Choice Wheel. They include:
- Go to another game
- Talk it Out
- Share and take turns
- Ignore It
- Walk Away
- Tell them to Stop
- Apologize
- Make a deal
- Wait and Cool Off
When a child comes to you to solve their "small problem," tell them to try one to two of Kelso's Choices first. If that doesn't work, then an adult can intervene. Make sure your kids know to ask an adult for help in the event of a "Big Problem."
