In a cozy town, there lives a boy named Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming is the only child in the family, and he grew up under the care of his parents since he was a child, and has hardly experienced any setbacks and conflicts. However, as he grew older, he gradually discovered that life could not always be smooth and that conflicts and contradictions were inevitable.
One afternoon, Xiao Ming and his neighbor's Xiao Gang were playing soccer in the park. The two of you come and go, and have a lot of fun. However, in a fierce scramble, Xiao Ming accidentally kicked the ball in Xiao Gang's face. Xiao Gang suddenly covered his face in pain, and tears flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming ran over in a panic: "Xiao Gang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" ”
Xiao Gang covered his painful face and glared at Xiao Ming angrily: "Why are you so careless!" Kicked in someone's face! ”
Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Gang's angry expression, feeling guilty and scared. He didn't know how to deal with the situation and could only stand helplessly.
At this time, an old man passing by saw this scene. He walked up to Xiao Ming and Xiao Gang, smiled and said, "Children, the conflict is not terrible. It is important that we learn to face and resolve it. ”
Xiao Ming and Xiao Gang looked at the old man suspiciously, and the old man continued: "First of all, we have to learn to apologize. Xiao Ming, you have already apologized to Xiao Gang, this is a good start. But apologizing isn't just about saying 'I'm sorry,' it's about being honest about acknowledging your mistakes and trying to avoid making the same mistakes again." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Ming nodded, feeling a trace of comfort in his heart. He looked at Xiao Gang more sincerely: "Xiao Gang, I'm really sorry. I will be more careful in the future to avoid such a thing from happening again. ”
Xiao Gang looked at Xiao Ming's sincere eyes, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I accept your apology. But you also have to remember to be careful when you play. ”
Seeing this, the old man nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, children. Next, we need to learn to listen to each other's thoughts and feelings. Everyone has their own position and feelings, and we need to respect and understand each other. ”
Xiao Ming and Xiao Gang glanced at each other, as if they understood what the old man meant. They began to try to listen to each other's thoughts and feelings, and gradually let go of the mustard in their hearts.
"Actually, I know you didn't mean it." Xiao Gang was the first to break the silence, "It's just that it really hurt at the time, so I'm a little angry." ”
"yes, I know." Xiao Ming responded, "I'm really sorry for hurting you. We'll be good friends in the future, let's play ball together. ”
The old man looked at the two of them as good as ever, and showed a relieved smile: "Children, you are doing a good job. Remember, when faced with conflict, stay calm and sane. Don't be swayed by emotions, but learn to solve problems with wisdom and courage. ”
Xiao Ming and Xiao Gang nodded, taking the old man's words to heart. They continued to play football, but this time more carefully and cautiously. In the days that followed, they gradually learned how to face and resolve conflicts, and also became more mature and confident.
Once, Xiao Ming had an argument with another classmate at school over a trivial matter. Remembering the old man's words, he did not immediately get angry, but calmly analyzed the causes of the problem and the positions of both sides. He took the initiative to find the classmate, sincerely expressed his thoughts and feelings, and listened to the other party's opinion. After some communication, the two finally resolved the conflict and became friends again.
This experience gave Xiao Ming a deeper understanding of the meaning of the phrase "children must be taught to face conflict". He understands that conflict is an inevitable part of life, but that we can become stronger and more mature as we learn to face and resolve it. At the same time, he also realized that he still had a lot to learn and improve in dealing with conflict.
As a result, Xiao Ming began to take the initiative to ask the people around him for advice and learn how to better handle conflicts. He has read a number of books and articles on conflict resolution, and has also participated in a number of related trainings and activities. Through continuous learning and practice, he gradually mastered more conflict resolution skills and methods.
Xiao Ming applied these knowledge and skills to his life, not only helping himself solve many conflicts and problems, but also helping the people around him. He became a "conflict resolution expert" in the eyes of his classmates and was respected and trusted by everyone.
Over time, Xiao Ming gradually grew into a young man with a sense of responsibility and responsibility. Not only did he succeed in his career, but he also played an important role in his family and society. He proved the truth of the phrase "children must be taught to face conflict" with his actions. He used his wisdom and courage to face and resolve various conflicts and challenges in life, and became a true man.
