Due to the immature emotional development of children, it is easy for them to engage in mutual aggression when facing disputes with peers. This situation is very troublesome for many parents, as both their own children and others are precious, and it is not good to hurt either. However, they do not know what to do to prevent and avoid such situations. So, how can we prevent children from engaging in mutual aggression?
1. To avoid mutual aggression between young children, the first step is to understand what happened between the two children from their perspective, and then make fair conditions for the child. Do not let the child feel biased towards either side. Children's mentality is usually sensitive, and any biased behavior by the mediator will cause psychological harm to the child. They will not listen to adult mediation again next time.
2. Do not preach to your child when they are emotionally agitated. Instead, stabilize their emotions and shift their attention. You can separate the baby who has a dispute and bring them to an environment that interests them. Then, play games with the baby. Children's anger does not last long, usually forgotten after about half an hour. When we meet again, we can still play together.
3. After the child's emotions calm down, or when they go to bed at night, tell them more stories about peaceful coexistence between small animals, so that they have a correct understanding of how to handle disputes.
Whatever happens between children, adults should not help them stand up and try to use language to mediate fairly. If a child wins a dispute with the help of adults, it is difficult for them to avoid using aggressive methods to handle disputes with other children in the future.
