Summary

Have you ever been trying to convince your parents of something and just ended up crying, yelling or storming off to sulk in your room?

And even if you still don’t win, learning to argue in a way that’s good for everyone is a really handy skill to have. Brains Trust: Lyneham Primary School: Neve, Ashwyn, Alice, Ava, Sammy
