When conflict is natural, it's not even that it's a bad thing.

I remember working one day a week in a preschool, and a lot of what the work in the preschool

was, there were all kinds of great things of creativity of children, but some part of it

was also reconciliation, because the kids would get in conflict.

going on for you, what hurts, or what's upset you.

ways that people are trying to solve conflict.
