My grandkids have learned that if they are (kind of) quiet and occupied I will let them be. The reverse of that is they occupy the 4 year old so I can get something done!
If they exclude the little one, or are outrageously loud or fighting I will generally find something that needs to be done that they can help me with.
I have heard them start to argue but stop and settle it themselves so I will not notice them and put them to work. :)
