Why do my kids love eachother one min and are fighting like cat and dog the next?
I am taking them out this afternoon and have stuff planned for most of the week but this morning has been a nightmare.
Answer:
Hello,
Brothers and sisters fighting are natural. It happens in animals as well as in humans. Are you an only child? If you are, perhaps it's harder to understand why siblings fight exactly. Perhaps your children were fighting today for your attention or they got over excited that they were spending time with mummy and it being half-term. I don't think it's anything to worry about as you say they get on with each other brilliantly most of the time. If you do see them fighting with each other, just assert your power and stop it from going too far. Show them that fighting is not good, and talking about things is much better. Use lots of rewards, these can include sweets or film rentals etc (also hugging and kissing can be highly effective) when they behave. Too often or not, some parents punish their children for being bad which is fine, but they don’t necessarily reward their children for being good. Putting yourself in your children’s position and trying to see things from their point of view can help.
It sounds as though they have a great mum taking them out to places in half-term! They should be very thankful.
I hope this has helped in some way,
All the best,

i'm like that with my brother. It's called being human
It's because they are kids - that's what kids do! It's a territory thing - and they are trying to compete for your attention!
Welcome to the world of parenting
Because they are busy developing their own identity and personality - all children go through this.
i had my 2 stepkids around at weekend, they are 7 & 9 and were a nightmare! i can sympathise with you! one minute theyre fine and the next they are worst enemies!
This is simple...they are kids.
They want thier own ways..and when one of them dont get their way..they start fighting..
this doesnt only happen with kids..adults sometimes behave this way too.
Most brothers&sisters are like this.and it never stops..though it gets better over time...but it never completely stops.
so many reasons, sometimes its becoz of jelousy, so remember kidz will be kids. as they grow up they will understand the world as u have done now, but dont get tired talking and disciplinind them. good luck
You were lucky if you never fought with your siblings...Almost all siblings fight, it's human nature.Living in the same house, always being around each other.it's natural.
the age gap between your siblings is bigger and therefore less conflict over territory - everyones children are the same.
be happy
i have four sons they also fight a lot but they also love each other very much dont worry all boys fight like this play together one minute and fight the next tey will grow out of this stage my sons are 14,12,8 and 6 they all have differnt personallitys love them a lot even with all the fighting
Because they are Kids, they dont hold grudges and forget arguments easier then adults
