I was never close with one of my brothers and now, many years later, we have no contact whatsoever. Sometimes sibling dissent passes, sometimes it’s gets worse with time

It is amusing (when you think about it afterwards) when the 3 year old admits to doing something to the elder one, then realises she needs to say sorry, reminds herself as she goes to find the elder one who has retreated, then says sorry and gives a big hug, the elder ones says that’s ok and all is peaceful again.

I babysit many kiddies and they have their moments. I only step in when they go overboard. Something you need to pick your arguments so by letting them sort it out that is a great skill they need to learn. I do not allow touching each other if their is a disagreement. I am watching what’s going on and only step in when I see they are having trouble settling the tiff. I ask them to sit down where they are. Stopping the situation. Then I ask what’s wrong and have everyone listen. Then we sort it out. No one leaves the room or has to be punished most times it’s sorted our easily and play continues.

I have had a similar issue .. my girls are a year apart and the oldest manipulator and boss and youngest eager to please and has been Number ones slave, until recently now nearly 14 and 15 and miss 14 will not take anymore she fights back and WW3 is constant at the moment … sigh

yeah my youngest two are 17months apart and it is great when they get along

i have two girls 10.5 months apart. they are currently 2 and 3 and lordy can they fight!! its a constant battle but they will not play alone, they love to play games together so the arguments and hair pulling follow… ok maybe not that bad But lets just say this mumma aint looking forward to the teenage years! “shes wearing my jeans” “She stole my make up” “She kissed my boyf……” This mumms needs a coffee already!

My youngest try’s to shut her older sister down. Very loudly!

every kid will fight with their siblings, its just human nature, i think its only if it gets violent to stop it, let them work it out,

thank you sharing this article good read

Kids will always have a disagreement every now and then

All kids argue to some extent, our two are close but they are not backward in telling the other if they don’t like something.
