Here's the first question. Could you speak about siblings fighting?

Older children, 11 and 14 years old, what to do? Well, my mother would put us separately

in different rooms and she would have a conference with each one separately,

and say, I want to know what you did. And almost invariably, we would start out with, well, he.

And she would stop us right there and say, I don't want to hear what he did. I want to know what you did.

So, of course, the two children didn't know what the other

I really don't know what to tell you.

And that does give us a lot of leeway.

So I would say study the book, the Song of Solomon because it not only has spiritual application,
