    Hi, I have two children and have a hard time handling them. It is funny to see how they fight but it is important for them to understand that they are siblings and not enemies. Fight and rivalry between two siblings is quite common and the most faced problem by all the parents. Most of the siblings are seen fighting and majority of the parents find it difficult to handle it. They always consider it as a parenting issue and consider it next to impossible to fix it. It is not really very difficult to handle kids who keep fighting over small issues.

    Hello, do not get dishearten that you cannot control the sibling fight at your home as you are not alone over here. Usually when siblings fight, parents have a habit of intervention and the situation seems to get worse. The main difficulty starts from who started the fight and who is wrong. It difficult to understand that whose side to take and who is correct and taking one’s side might hurt other and vice versa. Taking side’s increases resentment and it is important that you set some rules for them. It is important to the few changes in yourself which can help prevent your kids from fighting.

    The most common problem between siblings is fighting and rivalry. They swing back and forth, fight, get back together and again fight. All the parents find it quite energy draining and irritating when their children fight. Even though this is quite common and can be seen in every single house who has two kids or more. There are some houses where the siblings are so good with each other and do not fight and we wish that our kids should be like them. In this case at least one sibling compromises for other or both are mature enough to be sharing their things and thoughts.

    Hi, I know how difficult it is to manage two fighting kids. I have seen it closely my neighbour and her elder brother would fight like crazy. They would fight and fight and sometimes even hit each other. They would throw away each other’s things and not talk for days. Their parents rarely interfered between them and tried to calm them down. They chose not talking and my friend and her brother also avoided having conversations. Gradually they would talk and again fight, but they would resolve their matters on their own because their parents never tried to stop them.

    Usually I have seen that the elder child becomes jealous of the second child as he feel that he is being ignored and his baby sister or brother is being loved more by his parents. This gradually increases as they grow big and have to share their toys or books. They always fight for parent’s attention and even for rooms and beds. It is your responsibility if they feel so then you should resent it and try to be neutral with both of them and it is important that they are realised with the fact that you love both of them equally.

    Fights start from the point of sharing kids are very possessive about their toys, books, clothes, shoes and many other things. If their baby sister or brother try to take it or play with their belongings they do not like it. In teenagers also such things are quite common when it comes to their independence. They get aggressive and overreact sometimes to gain parents attention. Teens show their aggressive nature by not taking the responsibility of their younger sibling. All the kids are moody and have different moods every time. These are not serious problems so do not worry.

    Children have different moods, natures and temperaments and these are important in their behaviour. Attention is all what a child wants from you. If you are busy and not paying attention to him or her then they make requests and demands for something or the most common fight with their siblings. All of this is done so that you come and listen to him or her. Some just fight because they have a habit of fighting, the reason maybe he might be ignored or not payed attention to. You can visit a counsellor if you child has a frequent habit of fighting with the sibling.

    It is important for us as parents to treat all our children equally. Some parents have a habit of favouritism and always side them or love them more. This feeling is not good and can hamper the innocent mind if he is always ignored and felt left out. Try to communicate with all of them so that they share their feelings and emotions of what they feel. Spend time with all your children equally, do not try to differentiate between any of them. You cannot completely avoid the indifference and conflict between them. As parents it is our duty that they love and respect each other.

    Children are less likely to fight if you think you value each of them as a person. To get started, avoid labels and differences and spend time individually, letting each child know they are special to you. If you will check lead generation services and get new techniques to manage their wealth work. You need to have the opportunity and the time that everyone needs.
