Brother and sister always fighting?

Question

My daughter is 6 and my son is 4 i need some help on what to do.
My little boy is out of control and does not listen to me or dad very well? What to do???

Answer 1

Put him in time out for every thing he does wrong. If he talks back, hits, fights with his sister be consistant. If he tries to get out of time out hold him in time out. Put your legs around his and hug his arms down till he settles. Time out should only be for about 4-5 minutes do to his age. If he throws a toy at someone he gets a time out as well as the toy. Put the toy up for the day. He will start to listen to you. The best thing is not to get upset or angry and yell. Stay calm and cool.

Answer 2

My son and his wife were in a similar situation this past year. They were absolutely at their wits end! Their 4 yr old son would slap his mom so hard that her glasses would fall off. She is only 5', so he would take advantage of that -- he is already over 3.5 ft tall -- he would wait till she was walking down the stairs (so they were the same height, slap hard and then run and lock the door). It took tough love to get through it -- his toys would disappear, in time out, pop on the bottom, etc. But the 'control' never changed, they remained together and mom never had to say "wait till dad gets home", she would handle the situation as best she could and if it was not better by the time he did get home, he was in real trouble. There are 3 other kids also. He is an absolutely different child now. Loving and respectful - and protective of his mom now.

Answer 3

Don't yell at your kids, but be firm. If your son doesn't do as you ask, there must be consequences. What does he like to do? Watch TV, play Gameboy, etc? With my son, if he doesn't listen to me, I begin taking away privileges one by one. He soon shapes up.

You can also try a time-out. If you send him to his room, he may have a good time playing in there. But if you make him sit on a stool in the kitchen with nothing to do, he'll tire of it quickly. If he fights with his sister, he goes on the stool for five minutes. After five, he can go, but tell him if he fights again, he goes on the stool for ten minutes. If he fusses and whines, add a minute. Make it not worth his while to disobey.

Don't be angry, don't yell, don't get frustrated. Do and say everything with love, calmness, and firmness. You are the boss. You are in control.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Every time he is out of control put him alone in his room for half an hour. Tell him it's because other people don't need to put up with his bad behavior. This will teach him that if he wants to be with other people, he will have to treat them with respect.

Answer 5

dont listen to them when they trying to blame each other. put ur son or daughter a time out if they done something bad. ignore when they are trying to get ur attention (like crying). it will get better....me and my bruv are 13 and 18 we always fight

Answer 6

Well I think you can use a little threat to teach him.. But not a violance way, maybe by using insects.. Honestly, once they grown up, they automatically stop fighting..

Answer 7

my mother always would seperate us when we fought and once we were ok again she would make us hold hands for an hour until we became friends again. good luck.

Answer 8
