They Are At Each Other Again: Why the fighting is loudest at home, and what it is actually about

Nobody is in danger. It just sounds like it.

Two children who share a fridge will fight about the sofa, the charger, the front seat, and a biscuit that was, apparently, promised. It is rarely about any of those.

A short book about the noise. Why the people who love each other most practise on each other hardest, when to referee, and when to walk away holding the cushion.

Nothing here about making them best friends. That was never yours to arrange.

"Referee less. Feed both."

Who it's for

For the parent refereeing the sofa, the charger and the front seat, for the third time before tea. Ages 8 to 12 (3rd to 7th grade in the US), and for the adult more than the child.
