[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are people too. They aren't going to get along with and enjoy every other person who just happens to be in their age group. IF they see each other rarely the cousins are basically strangers. Why not help them find a way to connect be it through gaming or maybe making fun snapchat videos together. Teach them how to find common ground with another. Even two dogs won't always get along. [/quote]

They know each other just fine. We don’t have Snapchat and young kids who are friends and family members should be able to play without me facilitating with Snapchat filters. [/quote]

So basically you want the older cousins to act as unpaid babysitters for your kids.  They must entertain your children in the manner of your choosing. That’s not a great way to foster a relationship.

Look, I get it.  We’re not big on screens either, especially during family gatherings.  But when my kids’ are with their cousins whose parents are free with the screens, we make an exception because I think them bonding as family is more important than holding the line on screens.[/quote]
