What is quarrel?

A quarrel is when two or more people argue because they don’t agree on something.

Imagine you and your friend are both trying to play with the same toy. You want to take turns, but your friend wants to keep it all for themselves. That’s a quarrel, it's like a little fight about who gets what.

What Makes a Quarrel Happen?

Sometimes, people quarrel because they feel frustrated or angry. Maybe one person says something that hurts the other's feelings, and then both start shouting. It’s like when you spill juice on your shirt, it feels bad, and you might yell at the glass.

How Do You Fix a Quarrel?
