How can you co-exist together with the kids screaming and fighting with one another while keeping the house calm and quiet? Well that’s hard, so let\u2019s dissect the situation, if you remain calm the kids will pick up your energy and do the same. Maybe, it\u2019s time to put on a brave face and be more of a counselor aka neutral party than a mom. These techniques might help, remember it\u2019s all about trial and error.
1. Make the kids do chores together as a team this will help (laundry, cleaning up the table, taking out trash) once they do this then give them a reward (ice cream, more TV time ETC).
2. Take their privileges away when they act up and let them earn it back, they’ll realize they have no choice but to get along. Or work for a common goal, if they get along, they can earn movie night towards the end ETC.
3.) Encourage joint activities, this works for my kids, make the kids draw a picture of one another and write something nice about one another. You’ll be surprised this helps kids realize the nice things the kids have to say about one another.
4.) Make a designated area for the kids, maybe a corner, a bench, when their fights get crazy make the kids sit on it together and have them write or if they can\u2019t write, talk about their feelings and what they did wrong, verbalize those emotions!
5.) Teach your kids to sort out petty issues themselves. Sometimes jumping in a conflict every time, the kids get so accustom to it they don’t know how to problem solve themselves.
