How to solve conflicts between children

4. Search for a solution
Ask the child to brainstorm ideas for resolve your conflict assertively. For them it is very tentative to ask the adult to generate solutions, but it is good for them to seek, think of solutions and reach agreements on their own. Encourage each child to listen carefully to the other and to speak kindly and honestly.
5. Tracing
Follow up with the children to see how they are getting along and if the agreed upon solution has worked. If the strategy of talking together and figuring it out on your own doesn't work, it's best to suggest a strategy. This follow-up can help remind them to listen and interact with kindness.
As we said before, something fundamental when resolving a conflict is to put yourself in the place of the other and arrive at the solution that is best for everyone. Therefore, emotional skills such as empathy are also needed. Learning the ability to recognize and appreciate feelings and needs, even if they are different from your own, is essential. Skills for empathy develop over time and include:

• 
  Acknowledge your own feelings.
  
• 
  Acknowledge the feelings of others.
  
• 
  Learn social skills.
  
• 
  Listen to the opinions of others.
  
• 
  Think about what it would be like if you saw the situation your way.
  
• 
  Think about how you can respond in a caring way.
  
• 
  Do something to help.

Kids of every age go through some odd days when they are upset with their friends. Sometimes some close friend says something to them at school and they take those words very seriously. Conflicts in the opinion, conflicts in thoughts is something big for kids till a certain age. They don’t have the maturity to understand that these things have to be let go. Or should we say they want to let it go but they are not able to. For some kid, who is slightly more emotional or we can say, deep thinkers, such emotional moments become a big deal. They are quick to involve adults and call other kids names (“mean” is top of the list). As a parent, we can only tell them what to avoid but for them, it is not very easy as it sounds. They have to handle it every day. We all want our kids to become independent and handle such issues on their own but they too need guidance from elders. That is what we will talk about in this post. Nowadays, kids go through so much of pressure that if we also shut the doors to their problems, whom they will talk to?
Let’s see what we can do as a parent in helping kids resolve conflicts. I am not an expert in this. I am also a parent just like you who has to be ready with answers to my kid’s questions and guide them. I am sharing what I usually do when my daughter comes home with a question or any disagreement with her friends. Please feel free to pour in your take on this topic — 6 tips to help kids in resolving conflicts.

  Listen to them: Yes, that’s the first thing I do. I listen to her patiently. Sometimes, I don’t understand her explanation after a certain point but I still listen. Now you will say what’s the point in listening when I am not understanding it? I may be wrong but I feel my not interrupting her, she opens up much easily. She needs a vent for her. I do ask questions when she is done talking. That way she knows she can talk to me without being judged.
