  1. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising Lesson 3 part 1

  2. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising Look at the TV what is the problem here? In today’s lesson, we will explore how to solve problems with someone else so that both people feel like their perspectives, including their feelings, needs, and wants, are considered. This kind of solution is called a win-win situation. Why do you think it is called that? Why do you think win-win solutions are important for getting along with others? We will learn how to use the Action Steps for solving problems. The alphabetical order for the steps will help you remember them.

  3. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising The first step is A: Analyze the situation What does it mean to analyze something? Here are some questions that will help you analyze the situation and remember to consider the other person’s perspective. Understanding the problem is harder than you think. When people are upset or angry, their strong emotions make it difficult for them to consider someone else’s perspective

  4. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising • Last week we discussed how considering other people’s perspectives is an important part of effective communication • What are disagreement skills: • Keep calm • Use active listening • Consider the other person’s perspective • Explain your perspective clearly • Act nonjudgmentally

  5. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising Let’s watch a scene of two friends talking about a problem they are having. As you watch, listen to both perspectives. Notice what each girl says about the situation. Afterward you will work with your partner to analyze the situation.

  6. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising • Now with your partner • Describe the problem from each girl’s perspective • Describe how each girl feels • Describe what each girl needs or wants • Does either character need more information? If so, what? • Write a neutral problem statement (for example: The problem is that the girls have very different feelings about inviting Beth) • Go over these responses as a class

  7. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising The second step is B: Brainstorm options. When you brainstorm, it is important not to judge solutions by labeling them “good” or “bad.” What are some possible solutions to Hannah and Lexie’s problem?

  8. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising • The third step is C: Consider each option. This step is focused on predicting the consequences of each option. There are four questions that can guide us when we are considering the consequences of each option: • What might happen if I do this? • Is it safe? • How might people feel about it? • Is it ethical?

  9. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising The fourth steps is D: Decide on the best option. Decide together which of the options you think would be the best win-win solution for these two friends and why You have 3 minutes with your partner You will report your win-win to the class

  10. Empathy and Communication: Negotiating and Compromising • Once you have decided on a solution, you need to make a plan for how to do, or carry out, the solution. • Then once you have tried your plan, you need to think about whether it is working. • If the answer is yes, reflect on what worked and why • If the answer is no, you need to go back to brainstorming and figure out another way to solve the problem
