how do i get my daughters to get along?

Question

my oldest daughter is 9 and my youngest daughter is 4 and my oldest thinks shes too cool to play w/her so shes mean to her to keep her away well my younger one Keeps on tattling on her cause shes hurt and all i hear all day long is MOM MOM MOM SHE WONT........ what do i do??

Answer 1

They will eventually "get along"...when they are grown. now it's called sibling rivalry...it's a part of the nature of having more than one child.

Answer 2

When they grow up they will get along better. Maturity helps. I have three daughters, they squabbled and actually fought the whole time growing up. They would scare me! Now they get along great, sometimes have minor disagreements. But growing up has resolved the problem

Answer 3

You can't make your daughters get along, but you can make sure you treat them the same. Bias toward one daughter can spark sibling rivalry.

Answer 4

Sometimes rewards work better than punishment Usually they like slumber parties Tell them what you want and link it to the reward....

Answer 5

there girl just let them be they will work it out, i always fight with my sister to i was 17 and she was 12 now u cant keep as apart

Answer 6

Tell them both how you expect them to act, then tell them what the consequences will be if they do or do not behave in that manner, then follow through with it.

Answer 7

you really need to let them fight it out (to a reasonable extent) because that's how they learn to deal with other people and situations in life. but you also have to make it clear how much fighting is acceptable

Answer 8

put them both in a room until they get along

Answer 9

LOCK UM IN A ROOM TIL THEY PLAY NICE

Answer 10

you figure out!
