Next steps are gentle: keep nurturing this strength through everyday play and conversation, and let your clinician confirm it sits well alongside the rest of your child's social-emotional profile. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","answer_md":"*A high Conflict Resolution score is wonderful news — it means your child is learning to navigate disagreements with calm, fairness and care.*\n\n## In short\nA Conflict Resolution AbilityScore® in the **800–900 band is a strong, reassuring result** — it shows your child is already managing disagreements well, listening to others, expressing their own needs and finding fair solutions for their age. The next steps are gentle: keep nurturing this strength through everyday play and conversation, and use your clinician's review to confirm the score sits comfortably alongside the rest of your child's social and emotional profile. This is a band to celebrate and build on, not to worry about.\n\n## What this band means\nConflict resolution is a **social-emotional strength** — the ability to handle disagreements without falling apart, to see another person's point of view, to negotiate, share and repair after a squabble. A score in the upper band suggests your child:\n\n- **Stays regulated** when things don't go their way, recovering from frustration without lasting upset.\n- **Listens and considers others** — beginning to understand that other children have feelings and wishes too.\n- **Seeks fair solutions** — taking turns, compromising, or asking an adult for help in a calm way.\n- **Repairs relationships** — saying sorry, making up, or returning to play after a disagreement.\n\nThese skills are the foundation of friendships, classroom cooperation and lifelong emotional health.\n\n## How to keep building this strength\n- **Name feelings out loud** — \"You felt cross when she took the toy\" helps your child put words to emotions and stay calm next time.\n- **Coach, don't rescue** — when small squabbles happen, give your child a moment to try a solution before stepping in.\n- **Praise the *process*** — notice and celebrate fair turns, kind words and calm voices, not just the outcome.\n- **Model it yourself** — children learn most from watching how the adults around them handle disagreement.\n- **Stretch gently** — cooperative games, group play and turn-taking activities give plenty of safe practice.\n\nA strong score in one area is also a chance to look at the whole child — your clinician can confirm that this strength is well matched across communication, play and emotional regulation.\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 online form alone. Your clinician can place this Conflict Resolution result in the context of your child's [full developmental profile](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated) and suggest ways to keep nurturing social-emotional growth, often through play-based [behavioural and social-skills support](/behavioural-therapy).
