The art of communication and listening
Teaching children the art of communication and listening is an important means to solve conflicts. Let them know that effective communication can find a satisfactory solution for both parties, and the value of friendship is far more than a short dispute.
Affirmation and encouragement
When children successfully handle conflicts, don't forget to give them affirmation and encouragement, which will enhance their self-confidence and improve their problem-solving ability.
Fairness and objectivity
Fairness and objectivity are crucial in dealing with conflicts. We should make a fair judgment on the basis of facts and not be influenced by personal feelings or prejudices.
Violent treatment
If the conflict escalates and even violence occurs, we must intervene quickly to ensure the safety of children. Gently but firmly separate them and guide them to calm down.
educational opportunities
Dealing with conflicts between children is an excellent educational opportunity. We can take this opportunity to teach children to respect others, learn to be tolerant and understand their feelings. In this way, we can not only help them deal with interpersonal relationships, but also promote their emotional development.
