Strengths

Use your strength: Lindo draws well, so he draws pictures of maths problems.
Notice others’ strengths and praise them: tell them what they did well.
A weakness in reading? Read a little every day. Failed? “I will study differently and try again.”

Tap when you could tell someone without looking.

Solving conflict

Don’t solve conflict with violence: someone gets hurt and nothing is solved.

Situation	Fair solution
Two want the same swing	Take turns
Fighting over the TV	Agree on a fair timetable
Group argues about the poster colour	Vote or combine both ideas
A friend spills juice by accident and says sorry	Accept the apology and clean up together

Rule

I-message: “I feel … when … , because …” For example: “I feel upset when my things are taken without asking.”

Ask an adult to help when it is unsafe or you cannot solve it yourselves.

To avoid conflict: share and take turns, agree on the rules before a game starts, ask before you borrow something, think before you speak, and walk away to calm down when you feel angry.

Tap when you could tell someone without looking.

Remember this and test yourself

Remember this: your summary

A strength is something you are good at; knowing it makes you feel confident.
Character strengths (honesty, kindness) differ from skills (drawing, soccer).
A role model is someone whose good example you want to follow.
Conflict is a clash between people. Stop and breathe, listen, use an I-message.
A compromise: each side gives a little to agree.

Write these points in your book. Read them again the night before the test.

Memory trick

I-message: I feel … when … because … — start with your feeling, not the other person’s fault.
