Argumentation is a social and interactive discourse activity in which participants confront others´ points of view, using everyday and informal arguments in order to achieve interpersonal goals.Daily dispute situations are a source for:argumentative development, as these situations encourage children to express their emotions and stimulate their understanding of different points of view; children´s use of mental state terms (emotion, desire, and cognition) quality and frequency of interactions could contribute to explain individual differences in acquisition and use of these terms.
