[quote=Anonymous]The biggest thing is to teach your kids how to give and show respect for each others wants/needs/space. Just because Joey's ballglove is in the room doesn't make it Sam's. Just because Sam has his cars out doesn't mean Joey can kick them around the room. Teach each kid to pick up for themselves but also that is someone is working on a project or has set something up, to leave it be and not touch it. You don't want them to feel violated in their own space. Allow each time alone if they need and understand and teach them that fair isn't always equal. Maybe Joey gets more dresser drawers because his clothing is larger. Maybe Sam has a bean bag chair because it can lift it and carry out to the den to watch shows. Don't be that parent who doesn't listen when you kid says they need space from the other. It is healthy to NOT want to be with someone 24/7. Respect that or risk it negatively affecting their relationship.[/quote]
