Confrontations can be either violent or non-violent.  Violent confrontations involve threats and intimidations and can lead to physical exchanges.  Non-violent confrontations focus on problem solving and are the way to find win/win situations.

• Discussing feelings
• Listening to another person’s point of view
• Understanding that people don’t always agree on everything
• Looking for creative solutions
• Weighing different possible outcomes
• Decision making
