How can I stop the kids fighting with each other they are driving me crazy?

Answer 1

i used to make my kids sit down at the table and write 10 positive and nice things about each other...i only had to do it a few times. i'd remind them that they were never going to have another brother or sister for the rest of their lives, so they better learn to be kind to each other. i saved their lists of nice things about each other...if they began to bicker again, i'd have them read through the lists aloud to each other. in any case, it worked for my kids. they are adults now, and very close...and i still have those lists. lmao. you never know when ya might need them again. ;)

Answer 2

If none of that other stuff works do what I do when they are really driving me mad.....put a chair in your wardrobe ....grab a glass of wine...sit in there with the door shut....and just zone out for 10 or 15 minutes.
OK you dont have to have the wine (sometimes its chocolate) but the zoning out is great...let them fight and sort it out between themselves....as long as they are not killing each other its really not that bad.

I use the wardrobe coz I can still hear that they are ok but they cant find me to bug me and such so you get a few well needed minutes of peace....even if its not quiet.

Answer 3

You don't say how old they are. Sit them down explain the effects of their behavior and how you are not going to accept it anymore. Lay down some clear ground rules, reward them when they are good and when not, there must be a consequence.
My children get no TV, Internet, a minute for each year they are on the stairs or kitchen chair depending, no mobile phones etc when they are not good.
They are given a choice... and they have chosen to act that way, so they have chosen their 'punishment'.
give it time it is not an instant solution. you and your partner need to stick to the same rules otherwise you are making your life harder with them. Good luck remember you are their parent!!

Answer 4

all kids do fight in so many ways.like my kids too,they use to fight on something,but when i kept them busy,they forgot about fighting.and i bought them a game board(monopoly) so that they will enjoy each other.but i think the best solution is that i shouted and i cried in front of them.It was a big help.

Answer 5

Keep them busy with separate activities. One in football, one at the library and one at Ballet.

Younger kids one in the bedroom playing, one in the living room watching a movie and one in the kitchen coloring.

Answer 6

U probably can't stop then from fighting..
Let them fight 1st (keep all those dangerous item away from them), when they get hurt and cry, then explain to them patiently..
Well, they r kids, most kids fight...Rite?

Answer 7

Fight with them the way they are fighting. Show them what donkeys they are. They will think you're stupid and then you look at them and smile the craziest smile ever. They'll freak out and behave. Hehe.

Answer 8

Do you believe in *** whippins? Just understand that you don't beat the hell out of your kids, you just spank them. If you cannot controll your kids young, they will only grow up to be worse. They absolutely need to know that what you say goes. No ifs, buts, or maybes.

Answer 9

I had the same problem for years and years. It wasn't until we announced our upcoming divorce that they finally made peace with each other. Go figure!

Answer 10

taking away, tv, gamboy, dolls, toys ect (there favorite things) works wonders oh and I use ear plugs to for when they start saying no, no, no, a million times. But it works!
