The next steps are to nurture and stretch this strength through varied social opportunities, emotion coaching and letting your child mediate small disputes, while keeping a light developmental watch as social demands grow. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","answer_md":"*A 900–1000 Conflict Resolution score is wonderful news — your child is already handling disagreements with skill, and now the goal is simply to keep that strength growing.*\n\n## In short\nA Conflict Resolution AbilityScore in the **900–1000 band is a thriving, top-tier result** — it suggests your child can recognise others' feelings, talk through disagreements, compromise and recover from upsets in age-appropriate ways. This is a strength to celebrate and gently extend, not a problem to fix. The next steps are about **nurturing, stretching and generalising** this skill across new settings, and keeping a light, joyful watch as your child meets more complex social situations.\n\n## How to nurture a thriving conflict-resolver\n- **Widen the playing field** — give your child richer, varied social opportunities: group games, team activities, mixed-age play, and situations where they negotiate roles, share resources and lead. Strong skills grow fastest when gently challenged.\n- **Coach the language of feelings** — keep naming emotions (\"you felt left out\", \"she was frustrated\") so your child's empathy vocabulary deepens alongside their problem-solving.\n- **Let them mediate, don't rescue** — when small squabbles arise, pause before stepping in. Ask \"how could you both fix this?\" and let your child practise finding fair solutions.\n- **Model repair** — show calm apologies, compromise and re-connection in your own home. Children with high social skill keep learning by watching trusted adults.\n- **Celebrate the *process*** — praise the *trying* (\"you both found a way to share\") rather than only the outcome, so resilience stays strong even when a disagreement is hard.\n\nA high score is a foundation, not a finish line — generalising the skill to school, siblings, and unfamiliar peers is the real prize.\n\n## When a light check still helps\nEven with a strong score, a periodic developmental review is wise as your child grows into more demanding social worlds. Seek a check if you notice conflict skills slipping in a new setting, sudden withdrawal, persistent friendship struggles, or distress your child cannot recover from — these are about the *whole* child, not this one strength.\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 figure alone. Our clinicians read this score within your child's full [developmental profile](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated), so a strength in one area is balanced against the whole picture. Explore how [social skills support](/) builds on strengths like this one, and how structured [behaviour and social-emotional therapy](/behaviour-therapy) can stretch an already-capable child further.\n\n## Trusted sources\nAmerican Academy of Pediatrics (HealthyChildren.org) guidance on social-emotional development and peer relationships; CDC developmental milestone resources on social and emotional growth; WHO healthy child development frameworks.\n\n**Next step —** Want to understand your child's full social-emotional picture and how to keep this strength growing? [Book a developmental review with a Pinnacle clinician](/behaviour-therapy).\n\nThis is general information, not a diagnosis — individual assessment and diagnosis require an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","canonical":"https://pinnacleblooms.org/ask/my-child-s-conflict-resolution-abilityscore-is-900-1000-what-are-the-next-steps","editorial":{"reviewed_at":"2026-06-11T20:12:18.613642+00:00","reviewed_by":null,"developed_by":"SETU
