I find when one of my kids go off the rails it helps to take them aside (say in their room or outside) and ask them if anything is bothering them. If they say nothing I explain that their behaviour is upsetting me and everyone else in the house and isn't fair. Nine times out of ten there is something up, it usually takes a little coaxing to get to the root of the problem, but it's worth it. Sometimes just the one on one attention is enough to smooth things (til the next one decides to act up, and with four of them it doesn't take long) Hope this helps. Good Luck :-)
