How is conflict resolved at PRCP?
At PRCP we try to promote a peaceful and respectful environment for all children, families and teachers. However, as in all communities, conflict does sometimes arise. We see conflicts as learning opportunities where children can begin to practice using valuable life skills such as effective communication, empathetic listening and problem solving techniques with their peers. Young children are still gathering the ‘tools’ they need to resolve conflicts and teachers work closely with the children to support them in this process peacefully and in making sure all voices are heard. We have a peace corner in each classroom where children may meet together to work out a problem or just go to get some quiet thinking time to themselves.
