problems they face are. The mission
of the organizations is basically to
assist members in solving their
problems. OK's role is to provide an
environment in which team mem
bers no longer have to use trial-and-error
as their number one manage
ment tool. Team members must be
willing to help others as well as
themselves, must agree to be ac
countable to their "board" for re
sponding to its suggestions, must
attend regularly and must honor
confidentiality within their team.
Each OK member pays $99 per
year in return for a built-in board of
experienced advisors, an off-site
meeting place and professional or
ganization and facilitation for all
meetings.

How are we doing?
Recently, a mailing was sent out
to the families of WSE students. It
included a report card on the school's
progress. Although the deadline has
come and gone for comments to be
turned in to the district office, it is not
too late to turn your WSE report card
in to the school office. Dawn Smith
would still like to know what you
think. Your evaluation is important
in helping to shape the school. If you
still have your yellow report card,
please fill it out and send it in.
Don't forget to sign your child up
for Summer Academy 2000! The last
day to sign up is June 8th.

Resolving Conflicts peacefully
Kids sometimes use harsh words,
fists, or even weapons to resolve
conflicts. This special report will help
you teach your children how to solve
problems nonviolently. The ques
tions and answers below explain the .
steps from conflict to resolution. The
keys are recognizing angy feelings, '
explaining both sides, listening care
fully, and brainstorming solutions.
Put the process to work at home
with your kids. They'll learn to use it
with classmates, friends and family
members. Whenever possible, re
mind your children to handle con
flicts without hurting others, with
words or actions. (Editor' s Note: The
examples below could apply to a boy
or a girl.)
"Why do people disagree?"
Let your children know that con
flicts often happen when people have
different opinions or want different
things. Example: Billy invites a friend
over to play video games. Timmy,
his guest, thinks video games are
boring. He wants to go outside and
shoot baskets.

disagreement, help them see that
conflict isn't all bad. In fact, it often
leads to a better outcome. For in
stance, the two friends above may
take turns choosi ng or decide to work
on a jigsaw puzzle-something they
both like.
"What should I do when I get
angry feelings?"
Help your kids learn to recognize
angry feelings before they get out of
hand. Do they start to breath harder?
Do their palms sweat? Do their faces
get hot? Do they raise their voices?
As soon as children notice these
signs of anger, they should take time
to cool off. Suggest ways to calm
down. Examples: counting to 10;
closing their eyes and picturing a
favorite place; imagining the anger
draining out of their feet; repeating
to themselves, "This is no big deal."
Your kids might even want to
draw a picture or write in a journal.
Expressing angry thoughts on paper
may help them to calm down. And
remind them that they can always
talk with you or another trusted adult.
"How can we talk?"
Once your children have calmed
down, they're ready to explain their
points of view. If they begin by
blaming the other person for the
problem, they won't get very far.
Example: Billy says to Timmy,
"You're so bossy . You always get to
pick what we're going to do!"
Instead, encourage them to stick
with how they are feeling. Example:
Billy says, "We played basketball
the last time you came over. I feel
like doing something else tpday."
What about the other person's
side?"
Remind your youngsters of the
old saying "Put yourself in the other
person's shoes. When it's the other
person's turn to talk, tell your kids to
listen carefully. How? Make eye
contact, nod occasionally, and avoid
interrupting.
To make sure your kids have un
derstood what the other person said,
they might want to repeat it in their
own words. Example: Timmy tells
Billy, "So, you're tired of basketball
and you'd like to do something else."
"How do we find a solution?"
The best way is to brainstorm ideas
with the other person. Encourage your
kids toconsiderall possibilities. They
can get the ball rolling by asking
each other "What if..." questions.
Examples: "What if we play video
games today and basketball next
time?" "What if we play video games
for a half-hour and basketball for a ,
half-hour?" "What if we put together
a puzzle instead?" "What if we take
the dog for a walk?" The final step is
picking the best idea and giving it a .
try? Remember: Children pay careful

; Ways to practice peaceful alter
natives '
When your child is in a difficult
situation, the best thing to do may be
to Walk away, get help, or compro
mise. If bullied or threatened, your
child must always put personal safety
first.
Role-play these common situa
tions with your youngster. Together,
- see how many other positive re
sponses you can come up with for
each one. The more your child prac
tices peaceful ways to handle con-
1 flicts, the more natural they will seem,
and she will be more likely to use
them in real life.
Also, look for everyday opportu
nities to talk about alternatives t vio
lence. For example, if characters are
, fighting on a TV show , talk with
your youngster about better options.
Ask questions such as "What are
they fighting about?" or "What could
they have done instead?"
Walk away
Situation: Jesse wears her new
glasses to the bus stop. Her class
mate, Tina, calls her "four eyes" and
starts laughing. Jesse replies, "Shut
up, you big dummy!" The two girls
call each other names until the bus
pulls up.
Better response: Jesse pretends
she doesn't hear Tina teasing her.
She turns away and walks over to
wait with a friend. After a few min
utes, Tina stops name-calling because
no one is paying attention.
Explain to your child that bullies
are often seeking the attention of
others.
Get help
Situation: On the playground, Jake
grabs Theo's baseball cap and refuses
to give it back. A group of Jake's
friend circle around Theo and start
playing "keep away" with the cap.
Theo tries to catch his hat and bumps
into one of the boys. The boy shoves
Theo to the ground.
Betterresponse: Theo goes to find
the teacher on playground duty and
asks for help getting his hat back.
Let your youngster know that
when there's physical danger, it's
not tattling to tell an adult.
Compromise
Situation: Karen is lying on the
couch reading a book. Her brother
Josh comes in and tells her to move.
She refuses. Josh grabs her legs and
tries to pull her off. Karen sits up and
starts punching her brother.
Better response: Karen reminds
Josh she was there first. He asks
nicely if they can take turns. Karen
agrees if she gets the couch to herself
until she finishes the chapter she's

Insights for Parents-Connecting
School & Work
A good education, a good job, a
productive and satisfying life. These
are things we want for our children.
Our children want these things
too. Many aren't sure how they are
going to get them. Many can't see
what's ahead for them. If our chil
dren can't see how school relates to
their future, they are more likely to
tune out in class. And, they will be
more likely to leave high school
without the skills they will need to
succeed.
' Here are some ways you can help
your children make the connection
between school and work:
Talk with yourchildren each day
about school. Ask them: What did
you lean today? Why did you learn
it? How will you use what you learned
in the future?
Support higher academic Stan
dards in your schools, and help your
children meet them. Make sure you
know what standards your children
are expected to meet. Ask your
children's teachers for tips on how
you can best help your children at
home.
Be a mentor to your children.
Talk with them about your work.
Help them understand that perfor
mance counts, both in school and on
the job. Help them explore various
careers, and choose extracurricular
acdvities that support their interests.
If your children have part-time
jobs, take a few minutes each day to
ask them how their jobs went, what
they learned, and what other em
ployees were doing.
Ask at your children's schools
about what efforts are being made to
connect school to work. Volunteer to
participate in a planning group.
Consider what talents you can
offer. Visit classrooms to talk about
your work and career. Host a field
trip at your work place, and offer to
supervise student interns. Volunteer
at a school career center. You may be
able to help students with comput
erized career exploration, choose
possible career areas to explore fur
ther or find a job shadow or work
experience opportunity.
Be an advocate for how schools
are preparing students for successful
careers, over the backyard fence, at
the grocery store, or on the soccer
field. Become a resource for other
parents and encourage them to get
involved.
Insights for Parents is provided
by your child's school in recognition
of your role as a partner in education.
