Anybody have advice on how to handle two kids who have been fighting all summer, I think I tried everything. At the end of my rope. Keeping them apart is not working.

The quick answer is to seriously consider family counseling. There are counseling centers in every major city that charge on a sliding scale. Mostly they deal with individuals and couples and families. So look for one in your neighborhood and take your kids. I realize you have a handful and acknowledge you for your concerns. There are solutions and you might need some help to find them. Good luck.

Have you tried a rope? Make them do things together with a small rope tied around each of their waists.. They'll fight at first, but eventually they'll probably start to laugh, and then you win.

Compromise the answer. Reach an agreement and an answer that will satisfy between both parties.

Give your children plenty of one on one time with you so they don't feel the need to fight for your attention. And never compare them to each other or suggest that one be more like the other. That will only encourage anomosity You can find some great tips by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and click on "How to Articles", then type "fighting siblings" in the search box

Make them sit in the corner nose to nose. I do mean noses touching. It will end in laughter. (Eventually)
