Problem solving and conflict rseolution for kids should
begin being taught early on.
If you're a parent of multiple
children in your family this becomes apparent as it won't take
siblings long at all to becmoe engaged in some type of 'sharing'
violation with one another.
Children of a family with other
children almost immediately are engaged in a social type of
activity albeit only with their brothers and sisters early on.
Conflicts and resolving those conlficts soon become part of
their day.
At an early age kids are in more of a self exploration and
self discovery mode. From there and from a socialization
progression you will see kids playing tgoether but not as a
coordinated group. In other words, the next progresison is to
see a group of kids 'geographically' playing together but
they all still have their own toys and objects.
The next step of
the socialization of play is around 2 to 3 years old where
you'll see kids begin activities that begin to require
interaction and subsequently trouble sovling and conflict
resolution.
As a homeschooling parents you have the opportunity to actually
teach conflict resolution and trouble solving techniques and
skills rather than just solving them.
As a part of conflict
resolution it's important to get kids to express themselves
and thier feelings and get past their initial emotional
reaction. This will initially take some time and practice, and
you should take the time to get back to, and discuss the
conflict that occurred at a after time or date after the
emotions have calmed sufficiently down.
Discussing previous
conflicts and how they could have reacted and handled them is a
key in their emotional growth.
As all kids do early on, beofre they have the ability to
concisely express themselves, they learn that many times crying
and even screaming resolves their conflict because as parents we
try to assuage the behavior by getting them what they want or
need. The time needed for this emotional growth and self
education just isn't aavilable in the public schools. But as a
homeschooling parent this should be a practiced activity.
Understanding and teaching conflict resloution to your children
is an integral part of their social development and growth.
Without these tools, kids will grow into adults resolving
problems the only way the have ever known how to do - with
emotional behavior, and sadly, many times with force.
There is a tremendous amount of excelelnt information on these
techniques and teaching them to kids of all ages. Make them
part of your day, and a part of your child's life and they will
grow in detph and confidence.
