While sipping this beautiful tea.
Once they are in charge of their affairs.
When?
It depends. Jacob at 8 is no longer concerned about little things.
They will learn to settle their differences which can be between the range of fancy to absurd when adults encourage them to decide and find solutions to little disagreements. First is helping them to break the problem or issue into small parts. Fleshing it out for them at first helps them to eliminate big and small stuff to real stuff. It helps them to analyze as well, etc etc etc.
My final word to my grandchildren and when one has a drama is more of a lesson on quality time. If there's no real issue, try to settle things, or decide to choose to continue the fun over moping or nit picking. Or ruin your day completely.
Best is to give them the sweet ultimatum.
"We go in ten minutes".
They choose.
