So we stopped playing referree and let them fight it out. After a few weeks, the fighting stopped. They sorted themselves out. I do hope that this was only a stage they went through because I can't go through that again.Marleen Swarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816600553786398390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-36507241534343645532014-06-10T13:17:43.985+02:002014-06-10T13:17:43.985+02:00ha! i was one of 4.

And exactly as you say.. sometimes its over nothing, other than to disagree with each other. Woah, that stopping the car must have given them the shock of their lives.. I often threaten this, but haven't done it yet :) As 1 of 4 siblings, it is completely normal.. my brother used to TORTURE me as far as I am concerned and he would say that I used to TORTURE him with my constant whining and following him all over and being a general annoying baby sister! For me, I manage it and make it quite clear that this is NOT on and not how we behave and incorporate the Bible and What Would Jesus Do type lectures. I also remove privileges.. like if a fight ensues over arts and crafts, I simply cut the fun activity out and then everyone suffers because the fun is over. After this, they generally co operate. If it's over toys, I just remove the toy so that no one can play with it. This usually ensures they share the next time. And if it's over something completely stupid like "i say the sky is light blue" "no, I say the sky is turquoise!" then I usually yell HEY, like Marcia and they know they must hush! Our fights have never gotten physical.. But for the most, I know I just need to manage my own irritation levels because I know the effects on them are not long lasting and this banter between siblings is normal.

We did fight a lot but my parents pretty much left us to sort it out. No physical fighting was allowed and when we were older definitely no profanity. <br />I do not remember the fights getting too bad...sorry no help from me. Maybe Bambi? If you do not have anything good to say, then do not say anything at all. That is one thing I still remember and try to keep to.
