Take them into the back yard where the fire pit is. Your wife as well. Give each child 4 thin sticks and tell them each represents a family member and tell them to break them one at a time. Then watch them break them and throw them in the fire . Then hand them 4 new thicker sticks and tell them they represent the family and tell them to break them all at once. They won’t be able to break the 4 sticks. Tell them that TOGETHER you are strong, separately you are far more breakable. Tell them the strength is in the family being together and that they must have each others back. Then tell them that life can never be completely fair and that they have to remember to stay on the same side, strong together, weaker when they are at odds.
Then pull that lesson out periodically for the rest of time.

Not sure where you stole this from, but that's a pretty profound way of teaching the lesson ;)
