lol...its really normal for boys that close together to fuss and fight like that but as they'll grow out of it and start protectin each other...but try gettin them in different activities like baseball, karate, football you know so they want have a lot of time to fight all the time.

Well to begin with do you favor one more than the other? Does one child have more than the others, sometimes as parents we unknowingly favor one child more than the other.Perhaps it's the youngest or maybe the oldest.Have them sleep separately if possible , try taking their favorite toys away, but most importantly if you punish them stick to it don't give in otherwise they never learn the lesson and they only get the message that your not serious,Hope this helps I'm a mother of 3 boys ages 3,7,9 and 1 little princess 4.

I met my husband 26 years ago, and we both had 5 year old boys. I was always upset when they would fight, and I didn't know how to stop it. My husband gave me a perfect solution. We put the boys outside and let them fight it out. Maybe you wouldn't put the 7 year old against the 12 year old...my point is, they are going to fight. If they are not REALLY hurting each other. let it go. Ignore it and they will figure it out for themselves. It sounds awful, but it's not. It works- trust me.

Separate them. You do not want be a referee, because it would be a never ending job. They cannot talk to each other at all and if they want to play together, THEY better come up with a solution to solve their differences, otherwise you will separate them again.

well its kinda hard for boys those ages to stop fighting. its not anything you're doing wrong as a parent. they just need time to grow up and mature. young boys always are jealous of one another and wlel when they play they end up fightin so just tecah them how to play with one another and be friends.

My 3 are 4, 6, and 7 and they do too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I take their x-boxes and that helps but time out and yelling does not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I've made them write lines, like I will not hit my brother 40 times!!!! That helps!!!!! It also helps them with wrting for school!!!!! Boys seem to have bad penmanship!!!!!!!! Try taking their fav. thing they own or try the writing thing!!! If that does not help, well I feel for ya and I've always looked at people funny when they say boys are easier!!!!!!!!! Please, no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
