Hello Ma'am ! I have a 10 year old son. Whenever we tell him to study he gives excuses such as no class is going on, teacher hasn't joined yet or it's breaktime .

Ma'am I have two boys aged 8 and 6 years old . When they fight they do that not just verbally but physically too and it takes an ugly shape. They hit each other with fists, legs and whtever they grab hold of. My younger one was not like this earlier but since elder one vents out all his frustration on him, he has also started to retaliate. How do I intervene and stop them they really get uncontrollable at such times.
