kids fighting

I think all kids go through this with their siblings. It's a very common power struggle as they try to establish their place in the family and their 'territory' in the home. If they are hurting each other, send each one to corner, the further apart the better. I used one corner in the living room and one in the kitchen. Then they can't turn around and make faces at each other! About 3 minutes was the starting point, then if they insisted on continuing to hurt each other, they got to stand there for five minutes. They weren't allowed to look around, they weren't allowed to fidget. They had to stand there and just cool off, and hopefully think about ways to be nice rather than methods of revenge (you can -tell- them to think about how to be nice, but it's not very enforceable). Parenthood is largely just trying to get through it all without losing your sanity! Good luck!

well this worked for a friend of mine who had 3 boys...whenever they fought she would make them sit on the couch beside each..no tv no radio just silence they had to sit there and hold hands until they stopped pulling each others arms and squeezing each others fingers ..they had to sit quietly holding hands nicely and gentle for 5 minutes before they could get up...next time in the same day 10 mins...they hated holding hands and soon learned how to get along...

We have the same problem. My kids are aged 8 and 4 and they do often fight. Be it at home, church, school or even at the park, they fight. Sometimes I get embarrassed by their fighting. I often talk to them before going to any place, like brief them and remind them not to fight but still they fight and do lots of naughty things. How I wish too that they stop this kind of behavior.

now i only have one kid so i don't have your experience. but when i was young, i often fought and quarrelled with my brothers. my parents would have talks with us every few days and tell us which of our behaviours during the few days were good and which were bad. i think by talking with your kid can solve the problem to a certain extent.

I have the same problem as you.My cousin and my daughter live in my parent's home.They fight each other each day.My daughter often cry.Because she was fighted.I told them much more times:don't fighting.They repied :ok.But after a while,they are fighting again.This is a problem that difficult to settled.

some time, give them what they are intresting so they will get along. and if they hit each other, keep them along in a darkness room, and tell them, he won't do that again.
