Conflict between siblings or friends isn’t proof your child is “too much” or “disrespectful.” It’s the training ground for regulation, problem-solving, and empathy. When kids argue about whose turn it is on the Xbox, who’s included in the group chat, or who sets the rules for a game, they’re practicing skills they’ll need for every relationship ahead. Your role isn’t to avoid conflict, it’s to coach it. Guide them, support repair, and let the conflict do its work. 💡 Want more tools for handling conflict with big kids?
