Conflicts usually exist when someone else is trying to make you do something you really don't want to do...You might say, "I really would like to agree with you on that issue, however I can't because....(fill in the blank)." "I hear the frustration in your voice and agree that this is a problem, but I really can't help you at this time because........(fill in the blank)." "If I had to handle the same conflict that you are having now, I would probably........(fill in the blank)."
Basically, you try to project (turn around) the conflict back the way it is coming and have the person deal with it himself, you basically agree with him (or her) that it is a problem.
The important thing in a conflict is knowing and sticking to your "bottom-line", because in the end it is all about some sort of compromise and who is the one willing to let go of their position. If you don't have a clear and definite position in mind, then it is you that may get backed down. Kids are great at conflicts because they have soooo many different ways to try and wear you down. Stand firm on the main point, but be willing to compromise using something else to negotiate that will show that you are not just being mean. Good Luck! Oh and one more thing, it really helps to smile a lot during the process as it helps to disengage the other side.

Try to stay calm and don't take sides immediately. Its best to be non-judgemental and see the conflict as outside you.

For yourself, or for others? For yourself, analyze each one as it comes; there is no general rule that would apply to all cases. For others, just try to be objective.
