“Do not put your children in impossible situations.
You will not like the solutions they come up with”
Wisdom.
For me the "work it out" was a pair of brass knuckles. It did work, but there was a price. I was never able to ride that line again. Better then having the stuffings beat out of me or worse.
For my brother in law the "work it out" resulted in a ride in the back of a police car.
If you are going to let the kids work it out there needs to be parents there to stop it before it goes too far. Because it will go to far. You push a child far enough and their off switch gets broke.
