- UNIT 3 ASSIGNMENT RELATING TO OTHERS
- 1. Hey Eddie, I've noticed we've been having some disagreements about screen time. I wanted to chat about how we can resolve this conflict better. What do you think?
- 2. Yeah, we've been arguing about that a lot. I just really like playing games and watching videos.
- 1. I totally get that, and I want you to enjoy your screen time. But I also think it's important to find a balance between gaming and other activities. Do you have any ideas on how we can do that?
- 2. Hmm, but I don't like to study and I want to do what interests me. I am no more a toddler and can manage my own schedule.
- 1. Hey guys, What's all the noise about?
- 3. Yeah, it is affecting my grades somewhat. But I just get so into what I'm doing. I don't know when to stop.
- 2. Eddie and I are trying to resolve a conflict about his excessive screen time which is affecting his grades.
- 1. We understand. Maybe we could brainstorm some ideas together to find a better balance.
- 2. Yes, sure and if there are any disagreements we can talk them out calmly and find a compromise. How does that sound?
- 3. Yeah, I think that could help.
- 2. Yes, and we could also explore new activities to do together as a family that don't involve screens, like board games or going out for a walk.
- 1. Well, maybe we could agree on specific times for gaming, watching T.V. and homework.
- 3. Yeah, I think that could help us spend more quality time together.
- 3. Ok kiddo, if you finish your homework on time and your grades show improvement; you can sure earn some extra screen time.
- 1. And how about creating a screen-free zone in the house? Like, no screens at the dinner table or in bedrooms before bedtime.
- 2. Hey Mom, that's not fair. I am accepting that excessive screen time is being reflected in my poor grades. I am agreeing to finishing my homework first; and getting involved in family activities. But, at least I should be allowed to play at least one game before going to bed.
- 2. Of course sweetie! Let's continue working together to find solutions that make us all happy.
- 1. Thanks Mom and Dad! I really appreciate you listening and helping us figure this out.
- A Month Later...
- 3. Great job, son!
- 1. Hey Eddie, it seems that our conflict resolution strategies have worked well as your grades have shown a lot of improvement.
- 2. Yeah Mom and Dad, I guess the compromise that we reached really helped me focus on my studies and improve my grades. It also allowed me to strike a balance between screen time and studies.
