Conflict Narratives in Middle Childhood presents evidence from
twenty years of research, examining nearly 3,000 narratives from
1,600 children in eight settings in two countries about their own
experiences with interpersonal conflict. Close readings, combined
with systematic analysis of dozens of features of the stories
reveal that when children are invited to write or talk about their
own conflicts, they produce accounts that are often charming and
sometimes heartbreaking, and that always bring to light their
social, emotional, and moral development. Children's personal
stories about conflict reveal how they create and maintain
friendships, how they understand and react to the social aggression
that threatens those friendships, and how they understand and cope
with physical aggression ranging from the pushing and poking of
peers to criminal violence in their neighborhoods or families.
Sometimes children describe the efforts of adults to influence
their conflicts - efforts they sometimes welcome and sometimes
resist. Their stories show them 'taking on' gender and other
cultural commitments. We are not just watching children become more
and more like us as they move through the elementary school years -
we are watching them become the architects of a future we will only
see to the extent that we understand their way of making sense.
