1. What is the PRIMARY role of AI in sibling conflict mediation within this framework?

   1. Replacing the parent's emotional regulation during the mediation
   2. Generating structured prompts that guide children through active listening sequences
   3. Deciding which sibling conflicts require parental intervention
   4. Creating final solutions that both children must accept

   2. Two years (10 and 12)
   3. Five years (7 and 12)
   4. Four years (8 and 12)

3. The lesson describes the slow listening process as the 'actual lesson' in conflict resolution, with the solution being 'downstream.' What does this emphasize?

   1. That listening is only important when solutions are difficult to find
   2. That solutions should come from the parent rather than the children
   3. That conflicts should be resolved as quickly as possible
   4. That hearing and understanding each other matters more than quickly reaching a resolution

4. If one child shuts down or becomes non-responsive during the mediation, what should be built into the framework?

   1. A rule that the silent child forfeits their turn
   2. An immediate end to the mediation session
   3. Specific language to help the child re-engage without pressure
   4. A timeout penalty for refusing to participate

   1. One week
   2. One day
   3. Two weeks
   4. One month

6. Which of the following does the lesson identify as something AI absolutely cannot do in family conflict mediation?

   1. Suggest solution proposals for the children to consider
   2. Regulate the parent's own emotional response during the mediation
   3. Sequence the conversation so each child paraphrases the other
   4. Generate age-appropriate prompts for different developmental stages

7. In the framework, what is the purpose of having children generate solution proposals BEFORE the parent offers guardrails?

   1. To speed up the mediation process
   2. To give children ownership and investment in the resolution
   3. To allow the parent to judge which ideas are best
   4. To confuse the children so they accept parent suggestions

8. What is the primary function of the 'paraphrase-back' step in this mediation framework?

   1. To demonstrate respect for the parent
   2. To force the children to agree with each other
   3. To verify that each child accurately understood the other's perspective
   4. To practice public speaking skills

9. Why might a parent decide NOT to use AI-generated mediation prompts for a particular sibling conflict?

   1. The conflict has already been resolved previously
   2. The siblings refuse to speak to each other
   3. The children are too young to benefit from structured mediation
   4. The conflict may signal a deeper issue requiring professional assessment

10. What does the lesson say children learn when they skip the active listening step during conflict resolution?

    1. That conflict resolution is about who can talk fastest and loudest
    2. That conflict is inherently bad and should be avoided
    3. That listening is only for adults, not children
    4. That adults always solve their problems for them

11. According to the framework, who should generate the initial solution proposals in the mediation?

    3. The AI system, based on its analysis
    4. The children themselves, with parent guardrails added afterward

12. What is the purpose of establishing opening ground rules at the start of the mediation session?

    1. To determine which child is primarily at fault
    2. To establish which parent will make the final decision
    3. To limit the topics that can be discussed
    4. To create a shared agreement that both children commit to before discussing the conflict

    1. Adjudication
    2. Negotiation
    3. Arbitration

    3. The actual solution to the conflict
    4. The parent's guardrails

15. If one child escalates during the mediation—becoming aggressive or overly emotional—what should be built into the framework?

    2. An immediate consequence or punishment
    3. A system to determine which child started the escalation
