Thanks to Playworks for bringing this to our world (others may have gotten the idea from another source). Playworks recognized that for some reason, when they told children on the yard to solve arguments through rock, paper, scissors, they perceived that as fair, shrugged their shoulders, and jumped right in.
We’ve tried it at home and it works (we tend to use ‘two out of three’). One of the things we love most about this is that instead of going straight to parents to resolve arguments, our kids will often sort things out on their own with this method. They may complain about losing, but abide by the results. ;)

While this is especially useful for families with multiple children, it can also work with a single child and her or his friends. Hey, people disagree, it is a productive part of life, but if there is too much argument or a single argument goes south, try this idea and see what happens.
