At Davidson Elementary we use something called the Tiger Tips to help students solve small, daily interpersonal problems. The students are encouraged to use these strategies in sequence as a means of building conflict resolution skills. The Tiger Tips are posted in each classroom and each student is given a small Tiger Tip "business card" to carry with them.
