Garden Keepers: Learning to Disagree
Two friends. One garden. One patch of soil they both want.
Two friends are working hard in their garden when they discover they both want the same patch of ground. As the conflict grows, bodies feel hot, voices grow loud, and listening becomes very hard. When both fight for the same space, the soil flies and the rows fall apart.
But when one friend slows down, takes a breath, and begins to wonder about the other side, something changes. Little by little, they start to listen.
And when both sides feel understood, the garden begins to grow again.
Garden Keepers: Learning to Disagree is the second book in the Keepers series, a collection of stories that help children understand their feelings, relationships, and inner world through gentle storytelling and developmental science.
Conflict is a normal part of life. Children disagree with siblings, friends, classmates, and adults every day. Yet many children are never taught what is happening inside their bodies when conflict begins. They may notice a hot chest, a tight tummy, racing thoughts, or a strong urge to make the other person understand. As emotions grow, listening becomes harder and problems often become bigger.
Through a simple story about a shared garden, children are introduced to the idea that disagreement does not mean someone is bad, wrong, or unkind. Different people can want different things. Different perspectives can exist at the same time. Understanding another person's point of view does not require giving up your own.
Written by developmental paediatrician Dr Owen Sainsbury, Garden Keepers draws upon clinical expeirence, developmental neuroscience, psychology, attachment theory, and conflict resolution research, translating complex ideas into language young children can understand. The story gently introduces emotional regulation, perspective-taking, curiosity, listening, and collaborative problem-solving without losing the warmth and wonder of a picture book.
Perfect for children aged 4-9 years, parents, educators, therapists, counsellors, and health professionals, Garden Keepers provides a shared language for talking about disagreement, relationships, and repair. Because even when we want different things, we can still grow side by side.
