My daughter keeps fighting her older brother. They love each other but they fight over toys. They had alot of toys but yet they fight. When they get spankins they pat each other up. I don't get it. How do i get the fighting to stop. My daugther is 1 about to be two and her brother is 3 turing four.

Thank you so much for the comment i was at ends with. But kinda lost my kool today my son was playing as he always does and instead of sitting down he knocked his two bottom teeth loose blood every where. Don't know what to do and i yelled at him for not sitting down and jeopardizing the family picture day. Now i feel gulity he is just always in to something we have to wait until Tuesday to see a dentist but i have no clue what to do about the lose teeth and because they did not fall out and i don't know what do. I think taking him to the emergency room will be erevlent because what can they do. Now my son is afraid to come near me. Help one mom to another

I think from watching lots of parents.. and from saying what works for me... Lead by example.. look at them disappointed so they know you are not cool w that at all and tell them that's not nice at all! you love your sister! you HAVE to be nice to each other, you HAVE to share, if i yell at them, they yell at each other. If they are fighting over a toy i tell the older one maybe if you giver her a different toy to play with you can play with that for a bit, BUT you still have to take turns and make sure they do.. the younger one too, say ok now its his turn for a few minutes, you find something else to play w. They mimick your behavior, take a deep breath tell them to calm down (and secretly yourself) and use reason.. they're all pretty smart lil things.. they will get it, even if you have to repeat yourself eternally. which you will lol. its likely they will still fight over stuff but mb that will help...

hia,i have a boy n a girl 12 n 9 n they have allways argued between themselves..i think its just a sibling thing hun which they will neva grow out of..try finding them games 2 play wiv each otha or activities they can do together..that way they will learn to enjoy the time they spend together and hopefully grow closer to 1 another..the more they grow older the fighting and arguing will lesten as long as they can learn to get along wiv 1 another while there young..hope this helps.chin up hun..xx
