The best approach for resolving conflicts between students in an after-school program is:
A. Let children discuss their differences with each other.
Encouraging children to communicate their feelings and perspectives helps foster conflict resolution skills and promotes understanding and empathy. It's important to facilitate the conversation and provide guidance, rather than letting them argue freely.
Options B (giving attention to the aggressor first), C (separating and isolating the children involved), and D (never using a time out corner) may not effectively address the conflict or promote positive social interactions. Time-out can be a useful strategy if needed, but it should be used wisely and not as a punitive measure.
