When faced with conflict, children can often lash out. That’s what happens on the playground, when 11-year-olds Henry and Benjamin get into a fight. Wanting to set a good example for the children, their parents come together to discuss the incident, and try to settle things in a civilized manner.
They try.
But civility is just a word, and one that is quickly forgotten when you’re standing at the precipice, where the slightest breeze will send all tumbling down. And it’s looking pretty windy.
