Siblings Fighting

Hi

I have three children two boys aged 9 & 8 and a girl of 7.
They seem to fight between themselves an awful lot and i am at a loss with what to do about it. I relise most si;lings fight but it seems to be constant at the moment.

Any ideas?

Re: Siblings Fighting

I think its " normal " my children are not that old i just wanted to wish you the best of luck.

Maybe try more family activity where they have to get on ?

Re: Re: Siblings Fighting

I have 2 boys 14 and 16 who were always fighting and picking at one another - then one day they had a 'real' fight. I let them get on with it - end of fights the little one (who usually started it) lost and hasn't picked again

Re: Siblings Fighting

Never takes sides, but do listen and offer understanding and interest. Some great books to help with siblings rivalry (which is normal anyway) are: Siblings Without Rivalry and Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves.
