"Kids will generally work things out by themselves, and conflict resolution is a skill they need to learn"
"When my daughter was small, she loved lemurs. Our local wildlife park had a troop of them, and every time we went she would make a beeline for the wooded area where they would hang out."
"It's not hard to understand the appeal - they are loveable little creatures, with their cursed orange eyes and weird lopsided gait, and seeing them hopping about in trees in east Cork was like seeing a púca in the flesh."
Children commonly figure out disputes on their own, and acquiring conflict-resolution skills is important for their development. A personal anecdote describes a child’s strong affection for lemurs at a nearby wildlife park. The child consistently headed straight to the wooded area where a troop of lemurs gathered. The lemurs are described as appealing, with distinctive orange eyes and an irregular gait. Observing them moving through trees in east Cork invoked a sense of encountering a púca, underscoring the wonder the animals inspired.
