1. What guidance tool will you use? I would definitely use conflict resolution and setting clear limits to behavior.
2. Why did you choose this tool? (Provide support from your text with a citation)

I believe explaining to the child what I saw and the classroom rules would be more effective than taking the book from them. In this case the book belonged to Julia and Lisa has to wait her turn for the book. As explained in the text Even young children can be given time to deal with conflict (Feeney, Moravcik, & Nolte, 2016, p. 229). The girls can likely resolve this problem on their own after they have calmed down for a bit.

1. Give a detailed description of the steps you would take in using the guidance tool, including specific language you would use and how the child(ren) might respond each step of the way. I would approach calmly and explain what I saw. In this case I saw Lisa took the book that Julia had first. I would then explain that in our classroom we take turns and it is not okay to take a book that someone else was reading first. I would ask Lisa if she knew Julia had the book first. If Lisa said yes I would then explain when you take a book that was used it makes her angry and you can rip the book. If she said no then I would also explain to Julia that perhaps Lisa was not aware that she had the book first since she left it for a bit, this would be to try to calm the situation down and try to redirect the blame off of the other child.
2. What short term and long term goals for guidance would you be supporting with your choice of guidance tool? (Provide support from the text, readings or videos with a citation) A short term goal I would use is to ask Julia and Lisa if they would like to sit down together and have me read them them the book or they can read to each other since they both like the Lion King like I do. ( I really do). A long term goal would be for the children to have name cards and they can set the name card on the object they are leaving unattended for a bit in the case that they have to use the restroom or something else. Another long term goal would be to practice conflict resolution regularly. As explained in the text problem resolution can be incorporated into the teaching plans like having a puppet show that demonstrates how to resolve problems (Feeney, Moravcik, & Nolte).
