“I had it first!” “You can’t play with us!” Conflict between young children can be loud, messy, and emotional, but it’s also an essential part of their social and emotional development. In this workshop, we’ll take a look at our own reactions to conflict, learn effective strategies for supporting children as they navigate peer disputes, and practice the steps of conflict mediation. Together, we’ll explore how to turn everyday struggles into powerful opportunities for growth, empathy, and connection.
