My cousin called and asked me to babysit her kids for a few hours … and her kids are no less then Tom and Jerry, always after each other. I am already dreading the babysit
I have seen alot of siblings fight with each other .. either playfully or seriously going at length to make sure the other is hurt how do you parents control that behaviour?
I do know my cousin has tried almost every thing , like , privately talking to them, communicating via stories , punishing them in the naughty corner , giving them a gift for their good behaviour … but it takes her to go away for 10 minutes and they are back to original
How to handle such behaviour? and make them live peacefully?
get them activities to occupy them
depending on age. colouring/drawing
board games
jigsaws
and keep them seperated don't give them both the same thing to do
actually if they fight all the time then you give them the same or different things to do there will be clashes.
have 2 of all games/activities so they can't snatch from the other
how old are the kids? i think at a certain age, they all fight, especially if the siblings are of the opposite gender. just have to make sure their attention is diverted, they get their own share of things, and keep talking to them. oh and ofcourse dont' injure each other seriously. it won't work right away...i doubt anything with kids works right away. but eventually things sink in. i think it's important to discipline children, not punish them, and show them that argument and fighting isn't the solution to things, ie the parents shouldn't do it in front of them.
after a while, kids just grow out of it. i know my brother and i did. we still have our arguments but it certainly isn't like what it used to be when we were younger.
how do you parents control that behaviour?
