Hi I have 4 boys, that's right 4. They are definitley a handful! They are ages 10, 8, 5 & 3 and they CONSTANTLY fight. They're always wrestling, hitting, kicking, and especially biting! People say, you have 4 boys that's all the testosterone... I have tried everything, taking away toys, putting them on the stairs (it's like supernanny's "naught bench", they dread the stairs) but as soon as their time out is over they're back fighting. Dad can't control them either. I limit their sugar intake, thinking that was a cause. They are very energetic and love to play outside, but they never run out of pep...

I'm sorry but I think you are stuck with the chaos! I have three boys and as I sit here my two oldest (4 and 2) are racing their dump trucks around the house - this seems to be the only thing they do anymore! it is so loud and obnoxious it makes me crazy - but they are technically being good. anyway they fight 90% of the time too, and I have not been able to figure out how to stop it either. short of beating them bloody every ten minutes of the day, I don't think it will ever end! lol

I can't give parenting advice so I don't know if that can be stopped but I can tell you that my older brother and I fought constantly growing up. My parents always told him that it was his responsibility to take care of his little brother and to be a good roll model even though he wasn't much older.
He picked on me and we fought but he always helped me when I needed it and he never let anyone else push me around. That was his job.
Around 16 y/o or so we started to get along and now we are best friends... I think boys bond through rough housing. As long as thy arn't being frighteningly violent.
They are trying to fight for superiority with-in the family, remind them that they are a family and as a group of 4 siblings they can accomplish anything if they stick together. If they learn that as they get older they will bond.
Just my .02, I'm no shrink

they are ALL BOY i would just let them go at it as long as blood doesn't appear but make them take their fights outside so nothing gets broke and after they grow up some it will no longer be a problem
