[quote=Anonymous]Boys. Yep. I have two, two years apart. Seems like it always ends in tears. Some things that are helpful to me (but not all of them always work): - When they fight and come running to me, unless it is really serious or egregious, I usually refuse to get sucked into it. I just quiet them down, ask them if they are having fun (no). Do they like being unhappy (no), and if they want to keep playing with each other (yes). Then I make THEM figure out how to play without fighting. If it doesn't work, they get a time out from each other for 30 minutes or so. - Send them outside. Tired boys are good boys. - Don't be above bribery. "If you can refrain from fighting during the car trip to location x, you can each have Y when we arrive." [/quote]
