Trait 2 of 13

Conflict Resolution

If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you.
Matthew 18:15
Why it matters

Why this shapes a child

Every child will be wronged, and how they answer it decides whether the hurt grows or ends. Going directly and privately to the other person is a skill most adults never learned, and it can be taught at eight years old.

Try this at home

When a sibling argument erupts, coach the words instead of settling it: "Tell her what bothered you, just you two."

Classes cover one trait at a time, so a short conversation at home is usually all it takes to reinforce the week's lesson.

Help your child grow in conflict resolution.
