Genitorialità responsiva e educazione alla pace: alcune riflessioni sulla fragilità nei contesti di Intractable Conflicts

Abstract

The paper establishes a connection between the principles of responsive parenting and the issues concerning education of peace and promotion of peaceful coexistence. It is argued that the promotion of education for non-violence and positive conflict management should not be the sole responsibility of the school, but rather a shared endeavour between educators and parents. This contribution examines the role of family relationships in either deconstructing, or perpetuating, forms of violence that fuel the so-called Intractable Conflicts. Furthermore, the paper draws upon research conducted within the context of an Intractable Conflict, to elucidate the ways in which responsive parenting and resilience can facilitate constructive conflict management.
