In a recent discussion on handling conflicts among children, parenting coach Anuradha Gupta shared valuable insights. She emphasized the importance of immediate intervention when a child is involved in a physical altercation. Gupta recounted her own experience, stating, "I stepped in right away, gently moved my daughter away, and focused on her first."
According to Gupta, the first step is to ensure the safety of the child who has been hit. This involves calmly removing them from the situation to prevent further escalation. Once the child is safe, it’s crucial to assess their emotional and physical well-being. Gupta suggests offering comfort and reassurance to help the child process the incident.
Additionally, she advises parents to have a conversation about the event, encouraging children to express their feelings and thoughts. This not only helps in understanding the situation better but also teaches children how to navigate conflicts in a constructive manner. Overall, Gupta's approach emphasizes empathy, communication, and safety as key elements in managing such challenging moments.
