How to stop kids quarelling? Any help?

I started a discussion last year about a punishment I use with my kids when they argue and hit each other. It's called "The Hugging Punishment." *LOL* If I catch them hitting each other, they have to stand in a corner and hug each other. They aren't allowed to talk. They just have to stand there and hug. It works GREAT! :D

i think this is a normal part of growing up.it really becomes stressful,when others blame you for not bringing up the kids properly.i have a policy in my house,they can fight how much they want in the house but outside they have to be wellmannered(otherwise,no going out)

I dont have the answer but when you find it out please let me know as I have the same with mine and it is tiring.

when i was kid i and my small sister use to fight all the time..its very normal,u can be a bit strict to them or try to tell explain them that its not good to fight when they are in good mood.this is surely going to affect them

They just need to grow up. You just cannot stop them quarelling. even if you get them both the same gadget, same clour with the same configuration they will still quarell over it. Thankfully, the more they quarell, more will they adore each other when they grow up. We are three siblings & used to fight a lot, now our jobs have separated us into three different countries, but the love has increased 3 fold. No a more practical note: try putting a board wherein you have both their names & keep marking plusses(or dollars, carrots, toffees) every time you notice a good behaviour or restraint from one of them. Reward the child when he/she reaches 10 plusses, very soon your kids will show an improved behaviour. CARROT ALWAYS WORKS BETTER THAN STICKS.

Sorry for your hard time. As to the question, I believe just telling them to stop quarelling does not help. Beating is the last thing even to think of, as you will feel bad after the beating. How about suggest something they both might be interested to distract their attention, say an outskirting at the weekends, or holding a family party inviting their friends, and work out a checklist with their imputs. I might say 10 and 7 are too young for that. I would say no if you try to take the lead properly, including enpowerment of responsibility, and praises and helps inbetween until you are jointly celebrating the first step progress. What an ideal dream?! But as the saying goes, "gentlemen are to be made from childhood". Equally true is that "It is never to late to learn". We need to learn parenting as much as the kids to learn manners.
