All the signs of the halfway point of summer are here – you’ve taken the kids to the library at least a couple of times, you’ve almost fulfilled your promise to limit video game play time, the fireflies light the evening sky, and the sound of siblings bickering and arguing rises over everything else.  Are they doing it because they’re bored?  Are they dehydrated?  A more likely explanation is that the arguing and bickering in your home has multiple causes and triggers.  Certainly there is more face-to-face time when school is out during the summer, but more likely, the underlying tension that starts the flare-ups has been present all year.  Maybe instead of looking at the situation as a recipe for premature hair loss, we can seize the opportunity with the extra summer hours available to actually do something more substantial about kids’ fighting at home.
