Actions and reactions need to be age appropriate –

If siblings are arguing, I usually try to stop them and find out what they are arguing about and HELP them to come to an appropriate resolution. If a toy is desired to be played with by both parties, they can’t seem to figure out a way to either share, play together or just take turns then it becomes my property and I will allow time to pass and present the opportunity to try it again. This really works even into their teens!

I also “catch’ them in moments of sharing and interacting nicely and remind them how fortunate they are to have each other.

I don’t like yelling and fighting in my home – in anger.

We do yell and scream for good behaviors and accomplishments! B”H we yell alot lately!
