Little Kids Fighting in Public: What To Do?

My kids fight in public, it just happens. I always hope it won’t, but it does. It’s humiliating and embarrassing and mortifying and I hate it. But it does happen.

I feel like, what on Earth did I go through all that trouble for if now they behave like this? Ugh! I think it’s incredibly frustrating to me, and that therefore I overreact.
