You could use a bright torch or lamp to give the effect of the moonlight mentioned at the end of the story. In some episodes, Henry screams 'It's not fair!', but not to open the episode. This example is displayed in " Horrid Henry's Comic Caper", when the house shakes after he screams this catchphrase. Comment that there seem to be quite a lot of hands up, then ask each child to turn to the person next to them and share some of the unfair things that have happened to them recently. Meanwhile, the elder son had been working in the fields. On his way home, he could hear the music and celebrations, and he wondered what was going on. He called one of the servants and asked what was happening. The servant told him that it was all because his younger brother had come home. The narcissism issue may become more pronounced or problematic if there is conflict in the parents’ relationship, as the adults mediate criticism of one another through the more-similar child. “One parent may try to harness one child; the other parent will try to get hold of the other,” Addis says. “This is terribly upsetting for the children, but it also creates a projection of the parents’ conflict.” It won’t necessarily help if you split up, as separated parents are more than capable of expressing their disappointment and loss through the child that they perceive as most similar to their ex. It’s seriously a nightmare, having a family, when you really think about it.

Addis also talks about what you could call the Succession conundrum: “families where siblings are quite symbiotic, where there’s a little bit too much investment in each other’s lives. That can be because there’s an insecure attachment to the parents, which is subtle or hasn’t been aired, and the siblings will cling together a bit too much. But when a sibling relationship is working and working well, it’s not symbiotic – it’s adult-to-adult. You’ve got a friend for life, you’ve got a support for life, you’ve got somebody who knows you inside out.” At last, the man came to his senses. He realized that he had been better off at home. He knew that his father’s servants had more to eat than he was getting. He was very sorry for what he had done and decided to return home and ask his father to forgive him.

At any age, she says: “The biggest trap parents fall into is directing too much attention to when children get it wrong rather than when they get it right. We fall into the habit of giving them attention when things are getting out of hand, and they tend to repeat the behaviour that gets them attention.” Children often say “It’s not fair” when what they actually mean is “I didn’t get the best out of that situation”, but then sometimes it isn’t fair, and sometimes you’re tired and you can’t remember how it started or what you promised or how it could be humanly possible to go to a swimming pool and not go to a swimming pool at the same time.Chris originally joined the IBE staff following a long career of leadership, research and teaching in the higher education sector.He is Emeritus Professor at the University of Huddersfield, where he served as Professor of Accounting (1996-2016), Professor of Financial Ethics (2016-2019) and Dean of the Business School (2008-2016).

Explain that you are now going to tell a story. It is an old Jewish folktale that interprets the phrase, ‘It’s not fair!’ in quite a different way. Say how, in some ways, all these answers are a bit selfish as they are all to do with what they want. Now, when we get older, it might dawn on us that there’s more to fairness than we realised when we made our first utterances on the subject. There’s certainly a very grown-up literature in philosophy on fairness and its close relation, justice. However, many of our everyday reactions to unfairness are founded on a fairly (if you’ll excuse the pun) simple intuition – and not necessarily any the worse for that. Hearing “it’s not fair,” is unfortunately a normal occurrence when you are surrounded by human beings under the age of 18. While I wish I could say that the only time I ever hear “it’s not fair” is at home with my kids, I cannot. We can all attest to hearing grown adults utter those painful words. From complaining about not getting a promotion at work to lamenting about how life has turned out, “It’s not fair” is a debilitating disease that if allowed to creep into one’s mind, it weakens resolve, sours the spirit and poisons one’s attitude. Point out to the children that when you are in the playground, you often hear people saying things like, ‘It’s not fair, it’s my turn!’ or ‘It’s not fair, I was here first!’ or ‘It’s not fair, they won’t let me play!’ or ‘It’s not fair, that’s my ball!’ and ‘I don’t want to be your friend any more!’ Occasionally, it can seem that you hear nothing but moans and groans.

Will the return of high inflation fuel concerns that businesses don’t behave fairly? IBE’s Associate Director (Research), Prof. Chris Cowton, delves into the results of our recent survey of the Attitudes of the British Public to Business Ethics.

There was once a man who had two sons. Both worked very hard on their father’s farm. The younger one wanted to leave home and go travelling, so he asked his father if he could have his share of the property to enable him to do this. His father agreed. The young man sold his share and went off with the money. Legend says that God looked down from heaven, saw the two brothers embracing and said, ‘I declare this to be a holy place, for I have witnessed extraordinary love here.’ Time for reflection You can always change your response. Even if you’ve been supporting your child’s views of the unfairness of the world—and himself as a victim—for a long time, you can always change as a parent. It’s never too late. Sometimes it just takes you saying, “I’m not going to feed into my child’s attitudes about injustice anymore; instead, I’m going to start helping him problem solve how he can deal with things from now on.” Cinquemani, Sal (3 February 2009).

Arrange for two Year 6 boys to play the parts of the brothers in the story. Explain that one is to be the single brother and the other the married brother and, as you read the story, when their character is mentioned, that ‘brother’ is to mime the actions being described. Show the ‘brothers’ the story. You will need to work in some pauses during the reading out of the story to allow the ‘brothers’ time in which to mime the actions being described.Ask, ‘Has anyone said, “It’s not fair” during the past week?’ Ask the children to put their hands up if they have. Why are some teenage siblings so horrible to each other? “Teenagers are inherently alert to social threat,” Cleare says. “The developmental stage they’re going through is that they’re hypersensitive to any social threat, exclusion, not being liked. That can come into play with two teens together.” Alternatively, it could be about identity: “You’re striving for significance as a teenager,” she continues, “staking your claim to likes and dislikes and personhood. And sometimes you do that by being different from another person, and a sibling is a natural choice. ‘I’m not like them – they must be rubbish.’” Again, what you don’t want to do as a parent is get into the fray, because that just means three (or more) people fighting. “This is about modelling. We speak kindly to each other as adults; we speak kindly to our children.” There were once two brothers who farmed together. They shared equally in all the work and split the profits exactly equally. Each had his own barn. One of the brothers was married and had a large family; the other brother was single.
