My 5 and 6 yr old cry and fight too much HELP?
Answer:
When my brother and I were 5 and 6 we were doing the same thing. My parents tried everything, then my dad said that is it. He made us sit on the couch with our arms continually around each other hugging each other and about every 3 minutes taking turns kiss the other and tell each other we loved each other. Believe me at that age we didn't want to have to do that again. Things quited down for us and we began to get along.
seperate them for a week
they will want each other back

It's time you turned to the Old Testament. Spare the rod, and spoil the child.
My sister and I are 18 months apart and when we were little we did the same thing. It's pretty normal your just going to have to put up with it. Now we are 19 and 21 and we live in an apartment together and we still fight almost everyday.
i don't know, start punishing them for fighting, and tell them until they dont get along they can't________(insert privlege here)
try to reward them being nice together or say you will take them to someplace they both love once a week only if they are nice. so basicly bribe them. or punish bad behavior.
it's nice to know that i'm not alone, my kids are 8 and 10, (boy and girl) my daughter is the oldest. when i get to overwhelmed i make them hug and kiss eachothers cheek. they hate it. also just sitting down and playing something with them calms them down too.. and if they are still fighting when i play with them, then i'll only play a game with one of them at a time, and while i am playing with one, the other has to find something else to do untill it is his/her turn. goodluck
well i can tell you this dont bribe them! like dont say who ever stops fighting first gets a presant! you probubly new that but oh well lol... and you can get time out chairs or send them up in the room together!!... if they star hitting or if they already are then say that hitting dosnt salve anything!! if they star throing things say ok thats is you dont get any supper! lol they will stop and you can give them food! but thats all i can come up with buh bye
My boys used to fight like that when they were that age. This is what worked for us.
Whenever they would fight I would make them set a face each other. Each one had to take turns saying something nice about the other one. At their ages you should expect answers like, she has nice hair or I like her shirt etc. As they get older they hopefully will get along so as to not have to "be nice". Like I said it worked for us and while they were saying nice things they usually ended up laughing about it. Also, if they are into name calling as mine were. I would make them call each other names like "hunny bunny" or "sugar" silly names like that. That also made them laugh and forget why they were calling names. GOOD LUCK hope this helps.
ok this is very normal but you have to understand to be firm if your not you screwed, dont be afriad to yell no and dont be afraid that they'll hate you, im 15 and im sorry if i sound rude, seperate them dont let them out untill they come out teach them wrong from right have them understand that your their mother and they need to respect you(you are their number person in the world)(nothing can change that) have them do activities together and get them to bond, remember im 15 and im not trying to sound rude its just my opinion.
it's normal, me and my sister used to fight(arguments, not actuall hitting each other) a lot just over everything and be friends for 2 minutes and then start arguing again. we did that until almost college, now we still argue, not as much.
you can try to reason with them and ask why they fight, reinforce positive behaviors. you can ground them if they act up, be firm.
It's really nothing u can do because there fighting now but they might be the best of friends later. try asking them y they fight so much or u might not notice but one might think that u treat the other one different or better, And that can be a big problem when ur young and older. I should know because i used to think the same thing until i got it cleared and i was older then so i wasted half of my life being mad at my mom. just dicuss it with them they might be young but that can help solve the problem.
Same sex siblings tend to fight more than opposite sex siblings. Also, siblings with less than three years age difference fight more. That's just the way it is.
However, siblings fight because they are in competition for your attention. Siblings closer in age are going to be more in competition. Your daughters are literally FIGHTING FOR YOUR ATTENTION. Because they are the same sex and close in age, they may feel like they are not seen as being separate from each other and special to you.
If you can manage it, please spend some private time with each of your daughters every day (it could just be a few minutes) without the other one around. Also, if you can, try to take some special time alone with each of them (maybe spend a few hours alone with one on a Saturday doing something that child likes) on a regular basis.
Most parents try to be fair and treat their children exactly the same. However, that is not always a good idea.
Each child wants to feel that they matter and are special.
The girls need to have jobs or be made into your little helpers.It probably sounds tedious,but getting them to help you around the house,when you have to do it can give them a sense of importance.Make time after dinner to do activities with them,drawing,cake making or even playing a game.
If one child hits the other she must be made to appologise,if she won't send her out of the room for 5 mins, and keep this up till she does.Its up to you to chastise the girls, but you must maintain a calm manner and not lose your cool.You must encourage them to do things for each other and a nice reward is nothing better than a hug from your sister.
my bro is 4 i am 9 we get into fights all the time.it is toataly natural. but if you need to stop it then this is what you do.sit them down and camly tell them that you need to talk to them send one of them out of the room and ask him/her to stop fighting and lov one another. if she/he refuses then ask what he/she would do with out the bro/sis. then send her or him ou of the room and bring the other one in and do the same thing.
My friends parents taped their hands together (one's left hand and the other's right hand) and told them that once they stop fighting you will take them apart... THIS WORKED =) Just be persistant! and keep them taped together everytime they start fighting... they will soon learn to play together nicely... I hope this was helpful!!
