One of things I DETESTED when my kids were young was the constant wrestling . . . especially between the brothers. Oh, those boys . . . How they LOVED to wrestle!
My two wonderful sons were forever climbing on top of each other, throwing each other over coaches, around corners and on anything stationary. They would hop, run and jump their way through the house making noise that made me think I was at one of those professional wrestling events.

It made me crazy!!!

My Unsuccessful Attempts

I was forever putting myself between my young sons, pleading with them to STOP! I’d banish them to opposite chairs and tell them in no uncertain terms that “Neither one of them could MOVE without the other’s permission.” What was I thinking? How could I forget, that fighting or wrestling is the MOST cooperative activity on the planet? What came next should not have come as a surprise to me, but it did.

Screaming kids got you down? Does every situation end up in a fight? Do you find yourself threatening . . . “One more time and I will have to separate you two!” OR “That’s it, I’ve had it! Knock it off right now or I’ll . . .!” OR “Why can’t you two get along!!!? You are brother and sister! I just don’t understand why you are so MEAN to each other!”

Truth is, as parents we have A LOT to do with our kids fighting with each other. I think many parents suspect that they have SOMETHING to do with all the fighting, but they can’t figure out WHAT they are doing that keeps the fighting alive.

Here are a few questions to consider:

1. If you leave the room when the kids are fighting, do they follow you?
2. Do the kids tell on each other when the fight has ended?
3. Do the kids demand that you punish one or the other of them for causing the fight?
4. Do the kids yell loudly enough for you to hear?
5. And finally, if you offered them Ice Cream would they stop the fighting and yell HURRAY!

If you answered YES to one or all of these questions, I am about to reveal to you the primarily reason your kids are fighting and THREE things you can do today to banish it from your home. Read More . . .
