help you with your homework today
because I need to finish my own first,
but I can help you tomorrow after
class" instead of lying or ignoring them.

is a calm, careful way to turn a problem into a
better result. You can do this alone or with
others, and it focuses on the issue itself, not
on disagreements between people. It is how
people work out their differences without
fighting, hurting others, or forcing someone
to obey.

Two friends fightover who gets to use the

to finish your work" — both agree and no one

your friend’s diary without asking,
and you stop telling jokes when
