Why Do We Fight?

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the complexity of world events, schoolyard politics, or the feeling that people just cannot seem to get along. It serves as a comprehensive guide for middle-graders to understand that conflict is a natural part of human life, rather than something to be feared or avoided. The text moves beyond simple finger-pointing to explore the psychological and systemic reasons behind disagreements. By exploring themes of justice, fairness, and empathy, Niki Walker provides a secular and logical framework for 10 to 14 year olds. The book empowers children to look at the 'why' behind the 'what,' turning frustration into curiosity. It is an essential tool for parents who want to move past 'just be nice' and toward helping their child develop a sophisticated understanding of human behavior and social dynamics.
