Children today are bombarded with images of conflict in the media, which can make them see it as something scary and to be avoided.  Because of this, children may avoid conflict for fear of hurting someone's feelings or being wrong. But conflict can actually be a good thing! It can help them learn new perspectives and develop important skills like communication and problem-solving. 

Also, for many parents, seeing their child in conflict can be tough, initiating an instinctual response to shield them from it.  But conflict is a good thing, remember?  It’s a necessary part of the learning process. By focusing on teaching them communication skills and empathy, they can understand other viewpoints and work together to find solutions.

As children age, they develop a consciousness about their identity. Their self-reflections are often built around their experiences and in time, they look toward role models at home, school, in media, and elsewhere. 

For that reason, it is important to cultivate their understanding of what it means to be a leader. When you think about your child, you may feel they are a “natural leader” or you may feel that they bear “untapped potential.” Perhaps you see that your child has the skills and qualities of a strong leader, but you may also recognize that your child does not yet recognize this within themselves.
