Option C is the best choice because it helps the children develop problem-solving skills and learn how to communicate effectively with each other. This will prepare them for resolving conflicts in the future, without always relying on an authority to settle disputes for them. Ignoring the issue (option A) or letting them work it out on their own until one is hurt (option D) can lead to resentment and injury. Taking turns for a specific time period (option B) may not fully resolve the underlying issue and can create more conflict over the fairness of the time allotted to each child.
