The next steps focus on strengthening and generalising these skills at home, school and play through coaching, modelling and praise, with a clinician confirming whether enrichment or periodic monitoring is right. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","answer_md":"*A 600–700 Conflict Resolution score is a bright, encouraging sign — your child is learning to navigate disagreements, and the next steps are about nurturing that strength even further.*\n\n## In short\nA Conflict Resolution AbilityScore® in the **600–700 band** is a genuinely positive picture — it suggests your child is developing solid social skills for managing disagreements, sharing and recovering from upsets. The next steps are not about \"fixing\" anything, but about **strengthening and generalising** these skills across home, school and play. A short conversation with your Pinnacle clinician will confirm whether light enrichment, periodic monitoring, or simply celebrating progress is the right path.\n\n## What this band means and how to build on it\nConflict resolution is the social-emotional skill of handling differences — taking turns, negotiating, calming down after frustration, and repairing a friendship after a squabble. A score in this band tells us your child has a good working foundation. To help it flourish:\n\n- **Name feelings out loud** — when your child or a sibling is upset, gently label the emotion (\"You're frustrated the tower fell\"). This builds the emotional vocabulary that underpins resolving conflict.\n- **Coach, don't rescue** — when small disagreements arise in play, pause before stepping in. Offer a prompt (\"What could you both try?\") so your child practises problem-solving.\n- **Praise the repair, not just the peace** — notice and celebrate when your child says sorry, shares, or finds a fair solution.\n- **Practise through play and stories** — role-play, turn-taking games and storybooks about friendship give safe rehearsal for real moments.\n- **Model it yourself** — children learn most from watching how the adults around them handle disagreements calmly.\n\nThese everyday moments are powerful. A score in this band usually means enrichment at home and reassurance, rather than intensive therapy.\n\n## When a closer look helps\nBook a review sooner if you notice your child frequently becoming overwhelmed in disagreements, struggling to recover from upsets, finding friendships hard to keep, or if these patterns are causing real distress at home or school. A clinician can then decide whether targeted social-skills support would add value, or whether periodic monitoring is enough.\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 single number alone. Your clinician reads this band alongside your child's wider profile to recommend the right next step. Learn [how the AbilityScore® is measured](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated), explore how [social and behavioural skills are supported](/behavioural-therapy), and start here at [Pinnacle Blooms Network](/) to find your nearest centre.\n\n## Trusted sources\nAmerican Academy of Pediatrics (HealthyChildren.org) guidance on social-emotional development and friendship skills; CDC developmental milestones for social and emotional growth; WHO guidance on nurturing care for early childhood development.\n\n**Next step —** Want to confirm the right path for your child?
