WHEN KIDS FIGHT When little kids get into big arguments over toys or cookies or other world-shaking issues, it’s tempting for parents to step in, divvy up the toys or cookies and gain some peace and quiet. But, as long as no one is getting hurt, it’s really better to let them work through the conflict on their own. Two professors at Indiana University who specialize in diaper diplomacy as a step to lifelong skills suggest that toddlers need a little guidance in negotiating. They offer five steps: • Getting the toddlers’ attention. • Identifying the problem and the hurt « feelings that exist, and helping each child understand how the other one feels. • Discussing possible solutions and guiding the preschoolers toward one that's appropriate. • Getting agreement on the compromise solution. • Pointing out how each child will benefit from the arrangement.
