Saed News: Three essential tips for parents when conflicts arise between children.
According to the Family Health Service of Saed News, when kids fight, these three actions are forbidden:
Children often fight to get attention or release energy. If you overreact, the conflict may escalate. Try to stay indifferent and show them that their fight is not a big deal to you.
Even if you know who is at fault, avoid taking sides. Doing so may make children feel like you always favor one of them, which can intensify their conflicts. Instead, listen to both sides and encourage them to resolve the issue on their own.
Some parents think that giving kids a reward will stop the fight. However, this actually teaches children that fighting is a way to get rewards. Instead, help them learn how to get along and show them that fighting is not the right approach.
✅ Give Them Time
Sometimes, kids just need a little time to calm down. Allow them to take a short break from each other before discussing the issue.
✅ Help Them Find a Solution
If the conflict is serious, guide them in resolving the problem. Ask them what happened and help them explore different solutions.
✅ Teach Them Conflict Resolution
Show children how to be friends and solve problems without fighting. Teach them how to communicate effectively and listen to each other.
By following these steps, you can help your children learn how to get along and resolve conflicts peacefully.
