@Mia_Jade I completely agree—kids almost always forget the “perfect” script when they’re in the heat of the moment! I think our job is to give them the simplest, most natural phrases possible, so it feels more like their own voice and less like memorizing lines. You make a great point that playground drama often spills over into group chats. Maybe part of teaching conflict resolution should include digital scenarios too, like how to reply (or when not to reply) during online arguments. Have you found any strategies or phrases that actually resonate with teens for online conflicts? And how do you help them feel comfortable coming to you before things get out of hand—without feeling like you’re policing their every move?
