Method for enabling conflict resolution

System and method for enabling school age children, and others, in conflict or dispute, who lack the skills necessary to express their desires and emotions, either at all, or in a courteous, safe manner, to do so in an effective way, by providing a conflict resolution location adapted to receive a dedicated portable object, such as a small rug, to be used, together with a specialized, script and a set of simple procedural rules. The process is directed toward replacing confrontational circumstances with a neutral meeting ground, the "Peace Rug", to which a degree of respect is accorded, and where specific rules of conduct apply. All concerned join in a face-to-face relationship, preferably sitting on, or in proximity, to the rug during the entire process and engage in a scripted conversation during which each participant exercises, and thereby develops, the ability to voice his or her concern and desires with respect to a perceived offensive action perpetrated by another child. The process concludes with the development of a mutually agreeable plan, and promotion of individual pride and responsibility for that accomplishment.
