They think when a child is given pocket money， he/she may know how it is useful and they learn to know how to use money． When it is practised to them， they begin to save money． Saving money is a very good habit which should be taught to the children when they are at a very young age． So from childhood parents should give pocket money to their children and explain to them how to use money in a correct way and also tell them to save the money． This helps them when they grow up． Pocket money helps them to do something special to the society．

Of course， there are some opposite opinions． A few adults argue that because of the demanding nature of children， they might even misuse the given money for useless purposes For example， some children are in a habit of buying drugs or alcohol from their pocket money．

Kathy could still remember the night she had to leave her home in Hungary．It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible．She quickly filled a bag with a few pieces of clothing，her diary，and her treasure﹣a beautiful silk scarf．

Kathy and her best friend，Monica，had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves．They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship．Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning．

Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years．One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter，Eliza，to wear to her first job interview for good luck．Kathy was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf，but the granddaughter promised，"Don't worry，Grandma，nothing's going to happen to your scarf．You'll see．It is going to bring both of us luck today．"And with that，Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview．

That afternoon Eliza left the interview，feeling sure that she had got the job．So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant．As she was sitting at her table，she felt someone looking at her．Sitting next to her was an old woman，who could not take her eyes away from her．

"I'm sorry，do I know you？"Eliza asked．

"I'm sorry，dear，but you make me think of someone I once knew，"the old woman replied．"My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck．"Eliza listened carefully，with her eyes and mouth wide open．She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf．Could this be Monica，her grandmother's childhood friend？

Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman．

"My name's Monica，dear．I lived in Hungary as a child，but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old．I've been living here in California ever since．"said the old woman．

Have you ever been in a conflict（冲突）？Do you know how to solve it？Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict．Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it．The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator（调解人）．

After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict，they discuss ways to solve it．They try to come up with a "resolution" that both sides agree to．They cannot be angry during the communication．Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking．If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry，the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect．After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict，it is time for

discussing the best solution（解决办法）．

Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting：

●Someone says a student pushed him on the football field．

●The person who was accused as the "pusher" says it was actually an accident．

●The person who was pushed gets the mediator．

●The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place，away from others to talk．

●The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings．

●Each person describes what happened

●The mediator repeats what he heard，so it is clear to everyone．

●The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem．

●The two persons offer their own solutions．

●The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement．

●The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution．

●The mediator offers praise for solving the problem．

Conflict resolution can be used in many environments．It encourages people to tell what really happened，to share their feelings，and to work together peacefully to solve the problem．It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator．
