Want Your Kids to Get Along?

I know that our boys fought constantly.  The younger one would poke the older one, until the older one hit him.  The younger one then screamed, and the older one got in to trouble.  It took years to figure out what was going on.  And, it took even longer to see them being kind and respectful of one another.

Are you sick and tired of your kids fighting?  What do you do to stop them?

A.  Scream at them to stop.

B.  Separate them.

C.  Walk out of the room and let them work it out.

D.  Sit silently and not engage in their fight.

E.  Try to help them resolve what it is they are fighting about.

Please post your responses in the "comments" section, and read next week's blog for the Positive Discipline way of dealing with kids fighting.
