Think and Share Invitations
* Think and share about a time when you and another person had a conflict that involved hurt feelings, and perhaps a
misunderstanding.
* Please share about how talking about it, sharing feelings, and careful listening resolved the problem,
or at least managed the conflict in helpful way.
* Why do you think it is important to talk about your problems, and what people in your life help you do that?


CHORUS:
I've got to talk to them,
talk about it,
talk, talk, talk.
It's amazing what talking can do!

(sing CHORUS 3 more times)

(1)
When someone says or does something I don't like,
I've got to talk to them about it; not get into a fight.
So I'll say, "Please don't...!" and tell them how I feel.
I may find they didn't do what I thought they did, for real.

CHORUS (SUNG 4 TIMES)

(2)
When a problem with someone has got me feeling mad,
I won't bottle up my anger or explode with no control,
I won't take it out on others---that's just as bad.
So what could I do? Well, I've found it's often true...

CHORUS (SUNG 4 TIMES)

(3)
One great way to resolve a conflict, I have seen
Is when I share what I feel and how I think,
And I'm willing to listen to the other side.
Fighting makes a problem larger; talking cuts it down to size!

CHORUS (SUNG 4 TIMES)
