An AbilityScore band of 900–1000 in Conflict is the highest range, indicating strong, age-appropriate ability to manage disagreements — recovering from upsets, repairing after squabbles and using words over hands. It is a strength to celebrate and keep nurturing, measured against your child's own baseline. Only a Pinnacle clinician can confirm what it means.

*A high score in conflict is wonderful news — it means your child is learning one of life's most valuable social skills: working through disagreements with grace.*

## In short
An AbilityScore® band of **900–1000 in Conflict** sits at the highest end, meaning your child is showing **strong, age-appropriate ability to navigate disagreements** — taking turns, recovering from upsets, repairing after a squabble, and finding their way back to play. This is a real strength to celebrate and gently keep nurturing. Remember, this band describes your child against *their own* baseline at one moment in time, and only a Pinnacle clinician can confirm what it truly means for them.

## What this strength looks like day to day
Conflict skills are part of healthy social-emotional growth — they show how a child handles the friction that naturally arises when wills, wants and ideas collide. A child scoring in this top band is often:

- **Recovering quickly** — after a disagreement over a toy or a turn, they settle and rejoin the play rather than melting down or withdrawing for long.
- **Reading the other side** — beginning to notice when a friend is upset and adjusting, sharing or offering a fix.
- **Using words over hands** — leaning on language, gestures or asking an adult for help instead of grabbing or hitting.
- **Bouncing back from "no"** — managing frustration when things don't go their way, with growing flexibility.

A strong score here supports friendships, classroom confidence and emotional resilience — all things that compound beautifully over the years.

## How to keep building it
Strengths grow when they are noticed and gently stretched. Name and praise the repair, not just the calm ("I loved how you gave Aarav a turn after"). Model your own small conflicts out loud — "I felt cross, so I took a breath." Offer playdates and group play where they can practise. A high score is not a finish line; it is a lovely platform to keep encouraging empathy and problem-solving.
