[quote=Anonymous]Can anyone give insight into this dynamic in our house? We have three kids ages 7, 4 and 3. They fight like typical siblings and have their share of squabbles, but do play well together sometimes too. The issue is, when one of them gets in trouble the other two often rally behind the one in trouble against me or DH! This morning the 7 year old got a time out for a totally reasonable incident, and as soon as that occurred the four year old started going insane, screaming, tantruming due to her brother getting in trouble. The 7 year old often intervened for the 4 and 3 year old, too. (“It’s not so bad, mom, he didn’t mean to” etc. What gives? Is this normal? Should I be proud of this? Or concerned that i am too harsh so they band together against me?[/quote]
