Publisher: Pinnacle Blooms Network / Bharath Healthcare Laboratories Private Limited

A Conflict Resolution AbilityScore of 900–1000 is a thriving, top-tier result showing strong empathy, negotiation and recovery skills. 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.

*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.*

## In short
A 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.

## How to nurture a thriving conflict-resolver
- **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.
- **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.
- **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.
- **Model repair** — show calm apologies, compromise and re-connection in your own home. Children with high social skill keep learning by watching trusted adults.
- **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.

A high score is a foundation, not a finish line — generalising the skill to school, siblings, and unfamiliar peers is the real prize.

## When a light check still helps
Even 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.

## The Pinnacle way
AbilityScore® 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.
