Solving Problems with the Fire Pirates

Full Episode description

Captain Marion and her band of merry Fire Pirates have a big problem: their eternal feud with Fieryous George the Lava Monster is keeping them from reaching their greatest treasure, cheeseburgers. With a little help from Scotty, the Fire Pirates and Fieryous George learn to stop fighting, calm down, name the problem, listen to each other, and find a solution that works for everyone.

In this episode, we talk about conflicts. Sometimes it feels like the same argument comes up again and again, and there’s only one way to see it—like when Captain Marion says that Fieryous George always blocks the Fire Pirates’ ship on their way to eat cheeseburgers. Scotty helps Captain Marion, the Fire Pirates, and Fieryous George practice some skills to name a problem without blaming and reminds them of how important it is to calm down so you can solve the problem.
