my two little kids are now starting to quarrel. my youngest which is one year old starts to compete with his 2yo older brother with attention, toys etc. he now shout and get angry with his brother when his brother tries to borrow his toys. sometime he gets angry when he sees his brother lying on me. :) i just tried to laugh at them and hug them both. but sometime i cant attend on them at the same time. hoq you guys deal with this kind of situation? i dont want any of them to feel that they are more loved or their brother get more the attention because i love them both.. :)

Here is something that has worked for me. Whenever they are fighting over a toy, they get the chance to work it out or I take the toy. Communication is done in a normal talking voice or nothing happens. Lying is never to be tolerated. Laughing in my opinion makes it seem ok or that you approve of their behavior. It is best that they learn to negotiate and communicate from you and not someone else!
To this day most times my kids work it out without having to come to me. Stay consistent if you try this. That is the key.

yes i have done that to my eldest but i guess it will not work out with my youngest because he dont spend time listening to what i am saying. he still screams and cried out loud whenever he is angry. he looks so cute and funny but i dont want to tolerate. well anyways i will still try to do your advise.. Thanks willow..
