I have two sons six and three. They don't always fight but they often pick at each other. What have you done to try to stop that and what has been successful?

Well I have 3 kids.. 2 my own and one step child. Ages 3 and almost 5. Well the two 3 year olds fight over anything and everything. And like if they fight over toys, and I dont see who had it first, i take the toy away so no ones feeling are hurt and take it away for a week. And they have to earn the toy back.ANd if they are just piscking at eachother i sit them both in time out for 3 mins (same numbers as there ages) and then when time is up I tell them to look at eachother and tell eachother sorry and give eachother hugg and if they dont want to do that i have them sit back down in time out until they choose and are ready to be nice. And I just keep doing that over and over. Sooner or later they will learn. Sending them to other rooms wont teach them to be nice, they just play and do whatever instead of thinking about why they are in time out and away from eachother. In time it teaches them to be kind and respect eachother.

I don't know about your two, but my kids tend to pick at each other when they're bored. When the picking starts, I usually suggest a couple of different activities they could go to (play a game, work on a project, go play at the park, etc.) if they don't like my ideas, I assure them that I can find some very exciting chores for them to do to occupy their time. They usually find something else to amuse themselves in no time, and the bickering stops (for a while, anyway!).

Well I have four kids and two that are your sons age and they are girl and boy. I have to make them appologize to one another and hug oneanother til they are ready to die lol Just seperate them and make one play alone and the other for a little while that helps too as they say absence makes herat grow founder. Soon they will be yelling can i play with bubby please lol so dont worry they love one another its just part of growing up.

It's normal. Just separate them and give a time out. One thing that has worked for me is to make them spend time by themselves. That way I get a moment of peace.
