The only thing you can do is sit them down and tell them their behavior is unacceptable. Give each child a place to sit and draw or color. Check the two year old for illness or teething. Has their schedule been changed ? Maybe everyone is tired and a nap would do everybody good. Sometimes kids are hungry when Mom doesnt think they should be so you could try a nutritious snack. Some outdoor time might help the older ones with reduction of energy. I find that kids respond to a Quiet time in their schedule where everyone reads or quietly plays by themselves while others read or color. Good Luck . I read the other answers and came back here to say that all of these people say to get off computer and go play with kids are only partly right -kids do need attention but realistically Mom has rights too. Children can learn to let their Mother do things she wants to do also.

Hello, My 3 year old does this all the time. I know where you are at. If at all possible take them to the park and let them RUN RUN and play. This not only helps you, but gives them a change of pace. If this is not something you would like to do, maybe you can have a mommy's day off. Call the child care centers and see if they do drop offs, that way you at least can take a long hot bubble bath and just relax. If this is not attainable, then put them in their rooms and tell them that when they can play nice, then they can come out. Make sure you take away their T.V privileges away, this really works with my little one. You can also sit them down and talk to them, do not raise your voice, just let them know what they are doing is not nice and someone is going to get an owie. If all else fails, go outside and scream as loud and long as possible (lol). Most important get on your hands and knees and ask God to help you.

Sounds like you all need a time out, do something fun, lay on the grass and watch the clouds, have a hug and roll contest, have a picnic, play with tickle me Elmo. They are whining because they want your attention, give it to them, you can clean house another day.

turn off the computer and focus on them. most of the time when kids are cranky and fighting with each other, it is because they are feeling neglected by their parents and/or because they are bored.

Maybe you should spend a little more time with them, rather than the computer. Try taking them outside, for a walk, to the park any thing to wear them out.

My 7 year old & my 3 year old fight constantly. Part of being a Mom is being a referee, as well.
