Sibling Rivalry


Recommended Posts

Within the last month my 2 girls have gone from best friends to sworn enemies. I am at the point of seriously considering banning them from being in the same room as I jut can't take it anymore. It is constant bickering, tattling, antagonizing, etc.

 

Please give me any tips, books, etc that have helped with your kids.

 

Thanks!

Well, this sort of thing was reduced, when I explained that i expected them to AT LEAST treat each as politely as they'd treat a stranger.

 

A friend of mine with 4 boys has a solution of binding their wrists tOgether (just one each!) for 3-4 hours when they can't get along. This way they MUST negotiate with each other. Thereafter it is a useful threat.

 

Yes, they are allowed to use the bathroom alone! :)

At our night time family meeting/prayers, we review what things happened that day, and how we could have done better. The kids must come up with ideas on how they could've handled things differently/better. They also report on what nice thing they did for each family member that day.
