A Study On Left-Behind Children’s Peer Conflict

Conflict behavior is a form of interaction which occurs frequently among children and peers. There are many literature of peer conflict among children, which discusses the conflict from all aspects. With the development of our national economy, the dev-elopement of groups of left-behind children gradually expanded, and problems of left-behind children have been paid more and more attention in all aspects. But now in the research of the left-behind children, preschool left-behind children’s problems didn’t get enough attention, and problems about left-behind children’s peer conflict has not been received enough attention in the limited research. Therefore, the researcher hope to combine this special group of left-behind children on conflict which occurs among children frequently, to carry out a targeted research on the characteristic of the peer conflict among left-behind children, in order to understand the left-behind children’s conflict’s characteristic when it happened, and to explore the problems and difficulties of left-behind children’s social development from this conflict point.The research adopts qualitative method, which was carried out on rural kindergarten of senior class children by field observation, and using "detailed description" way of recording conflict behavior case. The cases were analyzed by the combination of statistical analysis and case analysis method, which in order to reveal the characteristics and reasons of peer conflict among left-behind children in senior class of kindergarten.Researcher believe that in the day activities of a rural kindergarten, game activities is the "concentration" of conflict. Conflict reason is various, but the limited material and space for game is the main reason. Meanwhile, compared with non-left-behind children, due to some accidental conflict behavior and provocative behavior triggered by a high proportion, which is worth attention. When faced with a conflict strategy adopted problem, children will stay negative and single, and usually with "an eye for an eye" type of direct physical attack and confrontation to face the conflict, who seldom use the strategy of consultation, understanding and exchange. Left-behind children when facing conflict, who relies a lot on teachers, and hope the teacher involved in conflict to help to solve the problem in the form of asking for help, which occupies a larger proportion, whose ability to solve the problem is bad. As a result of limited resolution strategy choice, the result of the conflict among left-behind children tend to be neutral and negative, and positive result is less, left-behind children don’t have good conflict resolution.
