Conflict Resolution can be learned when we are small and can positively affect our families, our friendships, our classrooms, and our world. In addition to the many songs that Red sings about having an caring and accepting orientation to the world he has a number of songs that were specifically created to help children confront conflict constructively and develop the self control and the listening skills that can defuse misunderstandings and problems before they become serious.
