Resolution, like responsibility, is a product of ownership, and kids can't resolve a conflict until they figure out how they contributed to it.

Richard Eyre
About This Quote

As children grow older, they begin to learn the consequences of their actions. For younger children, this means that they are more impulsive and less likely to think about their behavior before they act on it. This is because they aren’t yet able to interpret the world around them and understand the consequences of their actions. As kids get older however, they can begin to understand the reasoning behind their actions. For example, if a child breaks a toy because he or she doesn’t know how it works or what it is for, the child may resolve to not break toys anymore.
