Resolving conflict

[kk89]

Q)Children are learning how to control their emotions and therefore require good role modelling and practice to learn how to express their emotions appropriately. Consider how you would respond to two children wanting the same toy who are starting to become upset and agitated. Identify one appropriate strategy you would use for each age group below to resolve the conflict:
o 0-2 year olds
o 2-3 year olds
o 3-5 year olds

A)
0-2
Children at this age of their development are learning to control their emotions. They may not understand the concept of 'sharing'with other children and managing their emotions. If two young children were fighting over the same toy I would take steps into calming both children first in a calm manner. I would then teach the young children the importance of sharing and controlling their emotions. I would use either puppets or dolls to the children to teach them about how they should share with their friends and more positive ways of controlling their emotions.

2-3
I would use a song or music to the young children to teach them how to manage their emotions and ways that they can understand of how to positively resolve the conflict. It will help to understand the importance of sharing, turn-taking and how regulate their emotions positively.

3-5
Books about (resolving conflict and sharing with peers)will also be helpful in educating children about strategies that they can use when they feel certain emotions. It teaches children how they can positively regulate their emotions and how they should share toys or other items with other children. It teaches about the importance of sharing with others and building effective relationships with their peers.

I need some advice on this question

I would find the same toy and give it to the other child or find another toy one of the children could play with. Children are too young to understand waiting or sharing at this stage.

The rest of your responses are good!
