my son and his cousins don't get along well, leave them for a few minutes among themselves and they'll be fighting with each other. I would like to teach my son to play with kids and not fight with them so that when it's time for him to go to school we wouldn't have any problems. I'm afraid that if he goes on like this, I'll be in the school always because of some kid complaining about him. Help!! How should I train him?

In my opinion, the only way to get him to understand not to fight is to stop him each time you see him doing it and help him find the better solution. Chances are that when he goes to school, he won't fight too much with the other kids, he probably fights with is cousins just because they are family.

Thanks for your response. I've tried stopping him, also tried keeping him in our room away from his cousins when they fight but to no avail. I just don't know why he keeps on fighting with his cousins. I just hope he changes before it's time to put him to school.

Time & schooling will solve the problem. You need not worry too much about it.
I did the mistake of always losing against my son while playing games with him. Because of this my son was not habituated to losing & always had problems getting along with kids of his age. He loved to play with kids older to him,as they gave special treatment to him.
This behavioral pattern changed once he started going to school & found out that it's OK to loose some & win some.

My son and my niece love each other like crazy and miss each other when they are not around one another, but within 5 minutes they are fighting like crazy. Normally I separate them when they start to argue about something and make them take a break from each other.
