This is what conflict resolution looks like at the 1-2 year old level. ;)
D: *Head butts cousin*
A: *Cries, grabs own head*
D: *Also cries*
A: *Climbs onto the couch next to mom*
D: *Stops crying, grabs dog toy to play with*
A: *Stops crying, decides she wants the same toy, holds hand out to request/demand toy, fusses when not given to her*
J: What do you say, Avery?
A: Please! *Signs "please"*
J: Dayton, Avery said please, will you give her the toy?
D: *Hands toy to cousin*
J: Avery, will you tell Dayton thank you?
A: Thank you! *Puts dog toy in mouth and walks away*
D: *Puts on sour face that he no longer has the dog toy*
J: Dayton, do you want to get on the couch and bounce and jump?
D: *Gets on couch, starts jumping and bouncing and having a great time*
All is forgiven and forgotten. Sometimes babies can be pretty easy. ;) I love my job! :D
