As we grow, we are socialized into the appropriate standards to succeed in society. The socialization process begins at birth. Babies observe and attempt to imitate their parents and possibly their siblings or peers. Conflict is a part of life that children must use to develop skills for resolving disagreements; conflict is not always bad. However, peer conflicts can lead to aggressive behavior due to significant emotional and physical harm. Many young people do not have the social skills to manage their escalation. Peer conflict communicates disagreement or common aggression between peers or groups of peers. Peer conflict is characterized as conflict between people of equal or similar power, also called friends. These types of conflicts occur occasionally, are unplanned, and do not involve violence or result in serious harm. The party causing the peer conflict does not want power or attention. However, peer conflicts can turn into violence. Those who engage in violence and hostility generally have similar emotional reactions; most show remorse and dedication when trying to resolve the problem. Conflict resolution education can only be successful if children actively participate in communication, that is, if they speak for themselves and socialize both with adults and with other children. Baraldi and Iervese's article, Dialogic Mediation in Conflict Resolution Education, validates that considering children as competent social agents allows for a healthier understanding of conflict resolution education (2010). The article also establishes that coordination between adults and children improves dialogic mediation in conflict circumstances involving children. A conflict can block the ongoing communication process. Middle of paper ......preconflict interaction and conflict resolution in preschool boys with language impairments.
