Matthew, Liam, and Dylan were all playing together in the living room while their mom was cooking dinner.  They had all come home from a long day at school and were ready to eat.

Dinner wasn’t ready yet, but Matthew decided he was going to eat some ice cream as a snack before dinner.  “Come on” said matthew, asking his brothers to follow him so they could get a snack too.

Matthew reached out and got the last chocolate ice cream bar, which was Liam’s favorite.  “Hey! Don’t eat that!”, said Liam.

Matthew and Liam started yelling at each other about the ice cream and stormed out of the room.  Dylan, having learned from his teacher how to keep the peace, decided to bring them back into the same room.  

“Listen” said Dylan, “my teacher told me when two people are having a fight, there are four steps to make peace.  First, you need to stay close to each other, don’t leave the room. You also need to work together on something and talk it out.  It can help calm you both down”
