I have talked to Nan on the phone at different times of the day, once a week, for almost a year and still have not heard crying or her breaking up a fight.
I did hear laughter (and barking/whining from her pup
) on many occasions.
I don't have fighting here either. I sense/witness escalation behaviors and stop them before they happen.
If it is a particular toy causing as issue, I remove it or pick up multiples of it.
If they are tired of sharing space or I have a "clingon situation" (little bro attached to big Sis's leg); I seperate them into individual play areas with a sensory bin for a while. ETC.
I know that is what Nan does too, stops the escalation, because we have talked about it on many occassions. It is entirely credible and much easier than breaking up fights.
Ironically I use the same technique for family gatherings with adults...:
