Do you watch your children play and think how wonderful it is to see them enjoy each others company? Do you sometimes observe them and think how can they be fighting when two minutes ago they were fine? I think we all do – no two children or two friends can get on together all the time. There are going to be arguments because of the differences  in personality and rivalry.

My boys get on really well when they are in the same mood or they are sharing a passion for playing something specific. They don’t when they both want the same thing to play with or they are fighting for parental attention.

What brings your children together so they get on well and what pulls them apart?
