My kids are 9 nearly 10 and 6 nearly 7,eldest is a girl and the other is a boy. My problem is when they get on there great but when they don't it's like all out war-fare! There both driving me nuts as there both taurians (typical ones) and i'm getting to the end of my tether and don't know what to do. I've tried keeping them apart in there own rooms but then next minute they want to go in eachothers rooms and it starts up again! My daughter was very ill as a baby and because of this has a very short fuse and can lash out to which my son can wind her up and make her worse then he wonders why she does! The illness my daughter had was mengicocal septecemia(hope i've spelt it right) which anyone who has it is a victim to it luckily my daughter came away with learning difficulties etc ,but i see that as no excuse as to why they are like this towards eachother. But my son does act beyond his years as sometimes i feel there ages are reversed.

your children are fighting (which is normal with siblings) simply set boundaries such as no yelling or hitting and they will learn to act with in these boundaries. Make certain to set punishments that are fair when they break the rules.
As for your daughter. Learning difficulties or not she can be taught to control her temper. Emotional control is a learned skill (unless she is suffering from emotional disorders and this would have nothing to do with LDs, although she may suffer from both).
BTW what is a Taurian?

Do what you say and be consistent. If you tell them to stop arguing over which tv show to watch or you'll turn off the tv, and they keep arguing, then turn off the TV. If you tell them to play in their own rooms for 30 minutes, then don't let them play together until the 30 minutes is up. Just be consistent and don't back down, it might take a while, and it's hard to be unpopular, but eventually they will respect that you mean business...

try getting something they can do together, for example a video game or pogo.com to play games and if they act up turn it off. If you can afford it, find a branch of the atrium society in your area where they teach martial arts along with the disciplines which have been shown to be excellent for children. I don't know anything about that disease but a natural substance, DMAE has been shown to improve memory and learning ability and can be gotten at any health food store. good luck with them!!

have you tried talking to your son and telling him that he should be looking after his sister,and telling him why ,sometimes a little talking and time together works a lot of things out ,its worth a try ,
good luck

tell them that in order to achieve privileges they are to behave themselves, all Sib's fight, we did and ours did, so you have to put your foot down and mean it, if they start up again, don't allow them to watch TV or play computer games, even stop their pocket money if need be... they'll catch on eventually
