Today’s lesson is on relationships. The word relationship means a connection between two people. An example of a relationship is a friendship. So today’s lesson is going to be about friendships that you may have with someone like a classmate, but it could also talk about a relationship you have with a family member like your mom, dad, brother, sister, grandma, or grandpa. Can anyone tell me why it would be important to have a relationship or friendship? (allow time to answer) That’s right, it is important to have friendships and relationships because it can make us and the people around us happy. It can also make us feel safe and give us a feeling of belonging to something. All of that builds our happiness. But sometimes it is hard to make a friend or relationship. Sometimes there might be problems with our friendships. We could have what is called a conflict. A conflict is when one or both people are upset or angry with the other person. Raise your hand if you have ever had a conflict with someone before? That’s right, we all have had conflicts before. And conflicts are okay. Today we are going to learn how we can work through a conflict.

What happened with the Bear and Moose? That’s right. They were in a conflict about who was going to pass on the bridge first. Do you think they handled their conflict correctly?

But then, did you notice that Rabbit and Raccoon had the same conflict? How did they solve their conflict? That’s right, they worked together to come up with a solution.
