The next step is a clinician-led assessment that turns the number into a clear picture and a playful plan. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","answer_md":"*A Conflict Resolution score in the 100–200 band is simply a starting picture — and the next steps are gentle, clear and full of possibility.*\n\n## In short\nYour child's Conflict Resolution AbilityScore sitting in the **100–200 band** is an early signal that working through disagreements, sharing, turn-taking and managing big feelings with others may be an emerging area to support — not a label, and not a cause for worry. The most useful next step is a clinician-led conversation that turns this number into a clear picture of *how* your child handles conflict, and a small, playful plan to build those social skills. With warm, structured practice, children steadily learn to pause, express what they want in words, and find solutions that work for everyone.\n\n## What this band tells you — and what comes next\nConflict resolution is a **social skill that develops over years**, not a fixed trait. A score in this band suggests your child may currently find it harder to regulate frustration, negotiate, take turns or recover after a disagreement — all of which are very teachable.\n\n- **Look at the *why*, not just the score.** Difficulty resolving conflict can come from communication (not yet having the words), emotional regulation (feelings arriving faster than the brakes), or social understanding (reading another child's intentions). Each path needs slightly different support.\n- **Coach in the moment.** Children learn conflict skills best in real, small situations — naming feelings, offering simple choices (\"your turn, then my turn\"), and praising the *attempt* to solve things calmly.\n- **Build the supporting skills.** Strong language, attention and emotional regulation make conflict resolution far easier, so therapy often grows these together.\n- **Keep it playful and low-pressure.** Role-play, turn-taking games and stories let a child rehearse solutions where the stakes are gentle.\n\n## When a closer look helps\nA structured assessment is especially worthwhile if disagreements often escalate to hitting, biting or meltdowns, if your child withdraws from play with peers, struggles to recover after conflict, or if you are noticing this both at home and at school. These are common, supportable patterns — and the earlier the gentle coaching begins, the more natural it becomes.\n\n## The Pinnacle way\nAbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional — never from an app or a number alone. From there your child receives a precise social-skills profile and a plan shaped by therapists who understand the communication and regulation skills behind getting along with others.
