3. What could the parties have done to avoid the conflict or de-escalate the conflict?
4. How do you think the following conflicts should be handled:
   • Jameel’s family is upset & does not feel the infant teacher is giving Jameel enough time to eat because Jameel comes home each day with 2/3 of the lunch uneaten
   • The infant teacher is upset because they have asked Kiara’s mom to bring in more diapers, and Kiara’s family repeatedly forgets
   • Entisar is upset with her co-teacher Roberto, because Roberto creates all of these messy play activities that leave the classroom and babies very messy
