This reminds me of the Montessori teaching method where the teacher, guides, observes and intervenes, and scaffolds when necessary.

Acrucialfeatureofconflictmanagementisthattheadultdoesnotimpose,butnegotiates,asolutionallcanlivewith
I used to think that negotiation with young ones only spoils them, but once I had my own children, I found out the more we negotiate, the more skills they learn. When we talk about rules and expectations for example, I explain why rules are important in our lives. Then they start to undestant that rules are made to make us feel safe and secure. When negotiating, the children learn that it is not forced them.

I like this statement because by recognizing that expecting daily conflicts to happen is very important from not having our buttons pushed as teachers.

In your communication with families, you might wish to provide information on limitingchild exposure to media that is disturbing or difficult for the child to understand. Thereare resources from the Academy of Pediatrics (https://healthychildren.org ) and otherorganizations that could be helpful reminders
How can I approach the parents in a good way to sensibilize them about this matter?

Some familiesmight be feeling vulnerable or concerned about anticipated changes in national policies,national protests, and reports of community violence.
I can relate to this, many families that we serve at capic head start have been expressing their anxiousness about coming and bring their children. They are frightened that ICE will be outside of the building looking for them because they are undocumented. I feel sad about how this change has made people feel and live their lives. Half of the classroom isn't attending the class because their parents are scared from deportation.
