One is 12, one 8. One is verbally abusive, one is physical.

Put them both in the same room together....and don't let them out.
After hunger sets in they will be getting along well enough.
It will be a bonding experience.
I would video tape the whole ordeal and show it back to them while the eat.
They will be able to see for themselves and the truth will be told.

They are going to fight sometimes no matter what you do, but I would suggest putting them in time out (yes even at that age) and talking to them about how they can handle the situation better. Maybe you should try to have a family meeting when they are calm to address the situation. Let them come up with some better choices for handling situations, and then talk about what the punishment should be for each offense. Some suggestions are losing a privilege such as video games, phone time, television for a predetermined amount of time. Write up what you came up with and stick to your guns. It will get better over time.
If you feel that they are not improving, or that there could be a bigger issue, then get your kids some counseling. You don't want them abusing their spouses or children when they are older, better to nip it in the bud now.

Make them do pushups if they get physical (like 50), and make them write a long essay about the wrongs of verbal abuse if they are doing that.
Gotta get creative or it will never stop. Don't yell at them or hit them, that only makes you look weak and is a bad role model.
Hey, they'll grow out of it! We all did, remember?

Lock them in separate rooms. Just kidding. When you figure it out I would like the answer too. School starting soon will help put an end to some of it.

Try going to "systematic training for effective parenting", and if it is not available, you can get the course manual online.
It looks at the goals of misbehaviour, and how to meet the needs of the children in more positive and productive ways.
Here is a link to the course manual.

Give them something else to do. Kids will fight with each other until the day they die, nothing you can do about it unless you start redirecting. Make one go play outside and make the other go watch cartoons or draw or play games or do homework.....school will start soon! yay!

You need to give them rules and make sure they know what the punishment is for breaking them. Show them your the parent and and be consistent. Buckle down on them until they learn .

Don't let them watch TV, use the computer, talk on the phone. In fact, take all their privelages til they learn to behave themselves. If they keep acting like fetuses, hit them with a belt. My mom dit it to me, and look how good I turned out to be. *looks around quickly and runs away.
