Situation: Homeschooling mom is exhausted because kids are fighting.
Parent Talk tip: Have a homeschool class on fighting. Teach the kids how to fight. In the business world, it’s called negotiating or communicating. For a parent, it’s part of discretion – learning what works, what doesn’t and doing things that are effective.
