For parents, the optimal scenario is for their children to play together, get along, help and support each other. However, most often, the reality can be different.

The role of parents is to help children resolve misunderstandings constructively. How? By not comparing children, by not labeling them, by actively listening and recognizing what children need in a certain situation. The parent is in the role of a mediator, not a judge who decides who is right and who is wrong.
