Attention!

"Contention often reflects the absence of attention."

-Truman Madsen,
The Language of Love at Home
found in "Four Essays on Love"

I ran across this statement the other night and it rang true. All too often, I expect my children to get along perfectly, on their own, for long periods of time. It is only natural that they will argue and bicker. Adults can't even get along for long periods of time without arguing. I can be a better Dad by giving my children more attention.
