Helping Children Deal with Conflict

How often do you deal with conflict with the children you work with? How many times are your plans for a lesson hindered by a playtime incident that needs resolving? Teaching children how to cope with conflict effectively will be beneficial to their personal development and education, and to your ability to teach.

Helping Children Deal with Conflict includes a teaching programme of eighteen sessions that will help you to teach children to explore, practise and develop the skills needed for successful conflict resolution. There are a range of games and activities to develop thoughtfulness, self-awareness and co-operation. Lastly, there are resources on how to support children who often find themselves involved in conflict.
