The expression "Small children are small troubles, but when they grow up, they will be big" very often justifies its meaning. It seems that not so long ago, a walk with a baby consisted of pushing a stroller and talking to the same mothers, how very little time has passed and it is necessary to master new territories, which includes the sandbox.
At first glance, it may seem that everything is very simple – children play on the playground with their toys, ride on the rocking chairs and merry-go-roundsEveryone is happy. But in the course of the game, a variety of situations can arise, both funny and not so funny.

How to respond to children's conflicts?
First of all, you need to prepare an adult who accompanies the baby in resolving disputes. The child should be sure of the support from the chaperone, but at the same time he should know the basic rules of behavior in the company of his own kind. You need to talk about it with your children.
Despite all the preparations, there is often a situation when a child fights in the sandbox. At the same time, your baby can be the aggressor, and the opposite party is the victim.
If your child is the first to behave inappropriately: throwing sand, stones, starting a fight, pushing, this should be stopped immediately. You should stop the baby with words or force. And after that, analyze the situation, talking to all the parties to the conflict. After listening to all sides, it is worth concluding who is really to blame and explaining to your child what he is wrong about, asking him to apologize to the victims, giving examples of how to act in a civilized way in this situation. A child should be confident in the love of an adult, but at the same time it should be conveyed to him that the world does not revolve around him and that permissiveness is impermissible if someone suffers from it.
If another person runs up to your child and wants to take away the toys and sees only one way to do it, then you need to immediately prevent a fight and explain to the kids why this is not the way to act. In the case when a violent conflict is already in full swing, the first thing to do is to stop the children again: by words or by force, restraining them. Comfort your child, make him feel protected, and explain to the offender that it is unacceptable to behave like this and tell him about alternative ways of behaving in the current situation.
Children are born pure and bright, and adults, with their actions and advice, help them grow up well-mannered and kind, or vice versa.
