[quote=Anonymous]I’m looking for advice on parenting young children (ages 2-4) over the holidays when different parents have different discipline approaches and general tolerance levels for kid behavior.

This is really more an issue for the adults than the kids, but I’m figuring out what I should be doing so that normal kid behavior doesn’t stress the adult relationships. We’ve already moved to predominantly separate accommodations so maybe that will fix most of it.

The kids mostly get along, but will occasionally tussle over toys and when we’ve all been under one roof, we’ve had a couple instances of pushing or hitting. Our family has two toddlers, so we’re used to the vigilance of keeping an eye on the toy tussles but we probably let the kids work out more conflicts unless we see someone in the verge of hitting. The cousin is a single child with limited daycare background, so I think there is less comfort with any level of playmate conflict.

I’d love to hear any advice that you have on managing small people and family dynamics at this age. TIA![/quote]
