I think there is no easy solution when it comes to who takes away the stick and who we consider the parent to be. As you have probably noticed, all of our leaders are narcissistic d*****s. Everyone is picking sides like they are watching a football match. Thought provoking write though. Maybe this was not a good choice for me start reviewing your writing. CD

Ha! I really need to think! just a moment!

a child is not like the adult, and we need to go into his head to know how/why he is
acting like this, we need to work differently with them.

I will assume that these kids around 9/10 years old feeling like they are almost big, here what I think I might do,

I will kneel down to their hight, look into the child who hits the other one, tell him to give me the stick, ask him, "how it will feels, if he (the child whom he hit) hits You with this same stick?" I think he will be looking down into the earth, or he will starts giving excuses, like he hit him first etc... I will say to him, " if he did anything to You, You come to me and I will make sure to give You justice, You both are humans, two young men, violence never the solution", looking to both of them, I say, "this applies to both of You" then I will say will say again, "let's say this won't happen again", and finally I will BREAK this stick in front of their eyes.
