An AbilityScore band of 600–700 in Conflict Resolution generally points to an emerging mid-range strength — your child is starting to manage disagreements but still benefits from adult support to stay calm, share and find fair solutions. It is a starting picture, not a label, and only a Pinnacle clinician can confirm what it means for your child.

*A score is never a verdict — it's a gentle snapshot of where your child shines and where they'd welcome a little support.*

## In short
An AbilityScore® band of **600–700 in Conflict Resolution** generally points to an **emerging, mid-range strength** — your child is beginning to manage disagreements with peers or siblings, but may still need adult support to stay calm, take turns, share, and find a fair way through a clash. It is not a diagnosis or a label, simply a starting picture of how your child handles social friction *relative to their own developmental stage*. Most importantly, a band like this is something you and a clinician build on together — it tells us where to begin, not how the story ends.

## What this band tells you
Conflict resolution is a social-emotional skill that grows through years of everyday practice. A 600–700 band typically suggests your child can do *some* of these, *some* of the time:

- **Recognising a problem** — noticing when there's a disagreement, rather than only reacting.
- **Staying regulated under stress** — beginning to manage big feelings without fully melting down, though support still helps.
- **Turn-taking and sharing** — showing early give-and-take in play, even if it wobbles when they're tired or excited.
- **Seeking a fair outcome** — starting to look for a solution (asking, swapping, waiting) rather than only grabbing or withdrawing.
- **Using words over actions** — leaning towards talking through a clash, with reminders.

A mid-range band simply means these skills are *developing* — present in calmer moments, but not yet automatic when emotions run high. That is completely normal for many children, and it responds beautifully to warm, consistent practice.

## How to read it without worry
This single band is one thread in a much bigger picture. A clinician always reads it alongside your child's age, temperament, language, attention and the everyday settings your child lives in. The goal is never to compare your child to others, but to understand *their* baseline so support can be targeted and kind. If conflict regularly tips into distress, aggression or complete withdrawal across home and school, that is worth a calm professional look sooner rather than later.

## The Pinnacle way
A clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, under the care of a qualified clinician — never from a number alone or an online checklist. Our AbilityScore® is a clinician-administered structured assessment that reads your child against their own baseline and turns it into a warm, practical plan. Backed by 2.5 billion+ data points and 25 million+ therapy sessions across 70+ centres, our clinicians pair this with relationship-led [behavioural therapy](/behavioural-therapy) and family coaching. Explore [Pinnacle Blooms Network](/) and learn [what the AbilityScore is and how it's calculated](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated).
