Use a cardboard box to make and decorate a “don't bug me” house outside, during outdoor time. A child can go in this “house” and take a moment to settle down when upset. No others can talk to the child while in the “don't bug me” house; however, when the child comes out, encourage them to solve the conflict they had with the classmate verbally, using appropriate strategies.
