As tough as it may be, it is better to stay out of the fight…unless blood is drawn. I have two children that fight like cats and dogs and two that get along beautifully. Have they been parented in different ways? Absolutely not…sometimes it’s just the way they are wired.

I tried this software programme for parents to teach young children or babies to get a headstart in life. It trains them how to read, learn maths and have a good knowledge base at a young age. Its great, I can see such an improvement in my 14month old already and gave it to my brother to use as well. Here is the link http://039e8cfc7lnvfrb7qjuwdziv0u.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=BABY. Good luck.

I can actually relate to your kids because when I was still young, me and my younger brother keeps on fighting at the middle of our games. My mother usually scolded us because we were too noisy and she even said that we were like a cat and a dog. Then she tried to talked to us calmly after our fights and slowly our behavior has changed.

Thanks for the comments! I agree about Disney, Amy – we were there for their birthdays, and the emotions (and arguments) were running high. It really is a challenge for us parents!

That is a great tip, give them the tools to handle arguments on their own. It will teach them that you need to give a little to get a little.

Hope it works for ya!

I know exactly what you’re going through Lara! In addition to parenting, my husband and I own and run a travel company that specializes in Disney vacations, therefore we are frequent visitors to Disney and bring the girls most of the time. Even though Disney is supposed to be the happiest place on earth, it can be the most frustrating when the kids are arguing. Although you can never prevent all arguing (that’s a natural part of growing up in my opinion) I think the above advice “Positive Parenting” gave is a great place to start. For example, when we’re at Disney we take turns choosing which rides we’ll go on next. We rotate from one person to the next to ensure fairness and happiness for everyone. The most we can do is show our children that being fair, honest, and sharing is what makes a family work and everyone happy.
