Repair Feedback And Conflict
This lesson helps students handle feedback, disagreement, and tension more calmly. They practise repair moves and write Repair Commitments for a real situation.
What you will learn
- Recognise common conflict triggers and escalation patterns early, before small tensions become big ones.
- Learn three practical repair moves for de-escalating and rebuilding after conflict.
- Practise choosing repair moves in a realistic difficult conversation where the stakes are high and the pull to defend is strong.
- Create two specific Repair Commitments the learner will use the next time real conflict appears.
What happens in this lesson
Chapter 1: When Tension Appears
Recognise common conflict triggers and escalation patterns early, before small tensions become big ones.
What you make: A saved conflict trigger list naming the learner's two most common triggers and one real recent example of each.
Chapter 2: Repair Moves
Learn three practical repair moves for de-escalating and rebuilding after conflict.
What you make: A saved repair move toolkit with the learner's own example sentence for each of the three moves.
Chapter 3: Difficult Conversation Simulation
Practise choosing repair moves in a realistic difficult conversation where the stakes are high and the pull to defend is strong.
What you make: A saved difficult conversation debrief identifying which reflex the learner defaulted to and which repair move would have worked better.
Chapter 4: Repair Commitments
Create two specific Repair Commitments the learner will use the next time real conflict appears.
What you make: A completed Repair Commitments note with two specific behaviours tied to a specific upcoming relationship or situation.
Chapter 5: Repair In Bigger Conflicts
Apply repair moves to a multi-person conflict and judge when repair, boundary-setting, or escalation to a trusted adult is the right next move.
What you make: A saved conflict map that identifies the real trigger, the learner's part, the other person's part, and the best next move in a multi-party scenario.
