Not all children are always fighting and arguing, although the younger ones always seem to be and some of the older ones too. But when they are it's because they haven't learnt how to sort it out rationally through talking and coming to an agreement like adults can.
When they are on their own there is nobody to fight and argue with, therefore they can't. But as for fighting and arguing when they are with other kids, that is because they find something that they both want and only one can have at a time or they have to decide on something between them and they both want different etc. They don't know how to sort it out reasonably through talking so they fight and argue to try and get their own way because it's the only way they know how to try and get their own way.

I think it all depends on their upbringing and also the rules in the society they grow up in.
What's more, they will naturally fight and argue which is led by the instinct for survival.
On the other way, the way they will behave once they are in public, or on their own depends on how they understand and accept the rules led out in their society, and want to defy them or adhere because they want approval.
Well that's the way I see it.
So, I don't always prevent my children from arguing, but rather listen and choose or not to intervene.

well, brothers and sisters- wise, its just something that happens. i am the eldest of four kids, i have 2 younger brothers: one who is a year younger than me, the other is 5 years younger and a little sister, 2 years younger than me. we used to have arguments and fights when we were kids but as we grew up, it doesn't happen that often anymore. in fact, it rarely happens. maybe its to do with how they are raised and the types of experiences they go through and friends they hang out with

Part of a long process of learning to cope with the big bad world or should it be the land of freedom and opportunity?

That is because they are then the centre of attention. That is when they are alone with you. Just looking for attention, thank GOD my kids are all grown-up and out of the house. I feel for you. Be strong they will eventually leave, one day, some day:))

Well,children learn things by watching others do it.It's either parents friends or stuff they saw on tv.
