A lot of the children within our setting enjoys Peppa pig and often we get asked for picture to be painted out for them so there can colour them in. One of our children which attends is Muslim and her Mum has requested for us not to let her have picture of Peppa pig and also she was not to be included in any of the Christmas activity. We insured that there was other picture for her to colour in and during nativity practise a member of staff would let her chose another activity she enjoyed doing like looking at books and taking about the pictures. When we were make gifts etc for Christmas we would involve her in the activity but allow her to use objects that didn’t symbolise Christmas so she still had gifts to take home. When Chinese New Year was coming up we approached the parents of the child and asked if she was allowed to be involved and she was but this was a way to ensure a conflict didn’t arise again.

Another course of Conflict and dilemma was when one of my Key children parents had not been together for a long time and both of them had different ways of disciplining there son which lead to inconsistency and the child’s behaviour getting worse. The Mother went to the children centre who was working with her to come up with strategies that would help them. The Dad was not working with her and doing his own form of discipline. Because the parents continue not to work together and we felt that his behaviour at pre-school was not improving. So the manager of the setting brought Mum and Dad together to come up with what would work to help everyone but most importantly their son. So now everyone is working together.

I hope this give you some ideas
