Mrs. Smith called Aidan over. Before she could say something, she notices, Aidan had been crying too! His eyes were red, and his face smudged in tears. He could barely speak. "You've both told me two sides of the story. But do you know there's a third side of it too?" Mrs. Smith started explaining.
This is a story of Aidan and Rohan, who are upset with each other, and the problem doesn't seem to end until the day their fight gets really serious. Learning to consider a situation from a different perspective is often a difficult task for young children. This story helps children to review and reflect on a conflicting situation. Teachers can read this story in the classroom to help students navigate such situations better. The author provides helpful suggestions for teachers on the last page, bringing up topics such as 'Mindful Talking' and 'Calming Strategies' to avoid conflicts.
