Tell them the next time they argue , you will take all toys video games , TV and anything else they like to play with away..then if they argue take it all away and lock it somewhere. Then tell them they have to get along for 24 hours to get one toy back./.For every 24 hours they get along keep returning them..believe me one day with nothing to do or play with will fix it. Be sure to save the stuff they really like for the last to give back.

When my kids argue with each other continually, we put them them in "circle time". I give a lecture about their behavior towards one another and then make them say positive things to one another for about 5 mins. My kids are 5, 7, 9, 11 and they hate it! It has worked so far for us. I would also separate them when they aren't getting along. Tell them maybe they need to spend some time away from each other. If they can't play nice, they will have to play by themselves in their rooms until they decide they can. Hope this helps.

You have to realize most of the time they are fight to get attention. Try designating 15 min. of quality time with each of them. Some of the fighting should stop. Then start taking electronic games and Tv away.

I have the same age children both boys. I usually just try to keep them busy, or give them separate activities in separate rooms. But they both fight all the time!!!!!!!! And over the silliest things! I guess that is what comes with having more than 1 child. Good Luck!!

One of the things i do is put them both in time out then after 5 minutes or so i say you can get out of time out if your sister says you can otherwise you stay ther until she says so.
They pretty quickly say ill let you out if you let me out and come to a compromise and go back to being nice at least for a wile

Do not get in the middle all the time. Let them work out a conflict on their own and just see what happens they might surprise you if your not always mediating for them. Even if it gets ugly I say let them figure out what battle are worth fighting.

Hah, they never do, you can end up 40 yrs from now with 45 yr old siblings who constantly fight. If you get the idea now, youll smarten up and let it go, and let everyone live their lives., including your own. Lol.

I don't know, but if you find a way let me know. I think they do it because one of them is bored. Sorry that's all i can think of. I have four kids and they fight all day long.

My friend just seperates her kids. One in her bedroom watching a movie and the other in the basement playing or whatever works best in your house.
