>>   Here are some helpful suggestions for achieving a
>> peaceful coexistence with your neighbor:
>>
>>   Before There is a Concern:
>>
>>   Meet your neighbor. Introduce yourself at the mailbox,
>> when taking a walk, or when you see the moving boxes
>> arrive. Learning your neighbors' name and regularly
>> offering a cordial "good morning" or
>> "hello" can be the start of a positive
>> relationship. Don't worry about whether or not they
>> reciprocate. The important thing is that you are making an
>> effort. Don't wait until you have a problem to meet
>> your neighbor.
>>
>>   Keep your neighbors informed. Contact your neighbors
>> before you do something that might affect them-such as
>> hosting a big party, building a fence, cutting down a tree,
>> or getting a new dog. Informing your neighbors ahead of time
>> allows them to make plans or tell you how your project will
>> affect them. Getting their input lets you act in a way that
>> avoids problems.
>>
>>   Observe the Golden Rule. Treat your neighbors the way
>> they would like to be treated. Set an example by being
>> considerate about noise from vehicles, tools, stereos,
>> group activities and pets.
>>
>>   Be aware of differences. Differences in age, ethnic
>> background, years in the neighborhood, etc. can lead to
>> conflicting expectations or misunderstandings unless you
>> make an effort to communicate and understand each other.
>>
>>   Consider your neighbors' view. How does your compost
>> pile, dog run, or son's car parts look from your
>> neighbors' backyard or windows? Keep areas that are in
>> others' view reasonably presentable.
>>
>>   Be appreciative. If your neighbor does something you
>> like, tell them! They will be pleased that you noticed the
>> yard work or the new paint job. It will be easier to talk
>> later when they do something that you don't like.
>>
>>   When There is a Problem:
>>
>>   Don't assume that discussing it will aggravate your
>> neighbor. Your neighbors can't help resolve a problem
>> they don't know exists. Focus on:
>>
>>   ·         Learning rather than delivering a message
>>
>>   ·         Understanding rather than blaming
>>
>>   ·         Joint problem solving rather than who is at
>> fault
>>
>>   If you use these approaches, the conversation will
>> usually go better than you think. Neighbors are often not
>> aware that their actions are negatively affecting others.
>> Usually, people are willing to make changes if you approach
>> them respectfully.
>>
>>   Don't assume you know your neighbors' intentions.
>> If your neighbor does something that irritates you,
>> don't assume that it was done on purpose. Presume the
>> neighbor doesn't know about the annoyance. Giving them
>> the benefit of the doubt will make it easier for you to
>> talk about the situation.
>>
>>   Don't wait to talk about things that bother you. If
>> your neighbor does something that bothers you, let them
>> know. By communicating early and calmly, you take a big
>> step forward toward resolving the problem. Don't wait
>> until a minor irritation becomes a major issue and makes it
>> difficult to discuss.
>>
>>   Separate the person from the problem. Conflict can happen
>> whenever two or more people interact with one another. It
>> occurs because we are all unique individuals with different
>> perspectives, values, and needs. Focusing on the issue, not
>> the person will allow you to take care of the problem while
>> maintaining or improving your relationship with your
>> neighbor.
>>
>>   Be respectful. Talk directly with the neighbor involved
>> with the problem. Don't gossip or spread rumors with
>> other neighbors. Gossip damages relationships and can hurt
>> other people. Problem solving is only possible when we
>> treat each other with respect.
>>
>>   Be calm. If a neighbor approaches you accusingly about a
>> difficulty, listen carefully and thank them for telling you
>> how they feel. You don't have to agree or justify your
>> behavior. If you can listen and not react defensively, then
>> their anger will subside, the lines of communication will
>> remain open, and there is a good chance of working things
>> out.
>>
>>   Listen well. When you discuss a problem, try to
>> understand how your neighbor feels about an issue and why.
>> Understanding is not the same as agreeing, but will
>> increase the likelihood of a solution that works for you
>> both. Summarize what you hear and ask questions to clarify
>> your understanding of their view of the problem.
>>
>>   If things get heated, take a break. If you need to, take
>> a break to calm down and think about what you and your
>> neighbor have discussed. Arrange a time to finish the
>> conversation later, and then do so. It's hard to
>> problem solve when you are having a heated discussion.
>>
>>   Constructive communication can resolve conflict, and
>> talking things over directly is the best way to handle
>> problems, and avoid enforcement or the courts.
