Strategy Three

Strategy Three

I have to agree with this section, and how it states “most people experience their most intense emotions during conflict and perceive the intense emotions of their opponents as exclusively negative.”  One thing that I do teach in my class is something called I POSSES and this is where they learn about emotional intelligence.  The way it is taught in here is:

I – Interpersonal Skills

P- Persistence

O – Optimism

S – Self – Awareness

S- Self – Control

E – Empathy

S – Social Skills

S – Self – Motivation

I do realize that these are a little bit different then what is talked about in the book, however it is the same concept, but put in a form that junior high kids can remember.
