Explanation / Answer

Teach your child to recognize the feelings of others. You can point out when someone is happy, sad, scared, worried, and so on. When children learn to recognize what someone else is feeling, they are better able to respond appropriately.

Listen first, then help your child negotiate a solution. Acknowledge your child's feelings about a conflict before helping to work out a solution.

Use positive methods to discipline your child. Avoid yelling at him or her or using physical punishment. Through your example, your child will see that force is not the best or only choice.

Understanding your own feelings about conflict.

Active listening. Go beyond hearing just words and try to understand what the other person is saying.
