Solving Problems…So You Don’t Have To: Teaching Children to Work Through Conflict
A Pyramid Model Workshop for Early Childhood Educators

Conflict is a natural part of childhood — from toy struggles to turn-taking troubles. But when children learn to solve problems together, they build skills that last a lifetime: cooperation, empathy, and self-confidence. This workshop helps educators support children in working through peer conflicts using the evidence-based NCPMI Solution Kit and other practical strategies.

This is a practice-based workshop with a hands-on structure:

• 45-Minute Interactive Presentation — Explore strategies for teaching problem-solving steps, modeling conflict resolution, and guiding children through real-life challenges.

• 15-Minute Video Reflection — See children using the Solution Kit in action and discuss what makes adult guidance effective.

• 60-Minute Tinker and Take — Create and customize problem-solving visuals and Solution Kit tools you can use immediately in your setting.

You’ll leave with:

• A clear understanding of how problem-solving builds independence, empathy, and stronger peer relationships.

• Practical strategies for guiding children step-by-step through conflicts in positive ways.

• A ready-to-use NCPMI Solution Kit and conflict-resolution visuals to bring back to your classroom tomorrow.
