Kids fighting with friends

My duaghter used to argue with her friends quite often when she was younger. They would get along one day and argue the next. They would invite each other over in the meantime also.

I have a five year old son that really does not get into too many spats with other kids. I think that it is probably normal for your eight year old to have these problems. She'll grow out of it just like a lot of kids do. They fight and then they make up. Until later when another arguments erupts!

It is but normal for children to fight with each other. I think this is all part of growing up. However, if a child fights with friends very often then there could be something wrong. It is either she does not really know how to get along or the other way around.

My son is 2 years old and he has never fight with others till now. In fact he is timid. I do not sure he will not fight with others when he's older. I think fight among children is general. I believe they can resolve by themselves. The most important thing we adult can do is being fair to your child and other child.

My daughter is 4 and goes to Pre-K with 4 and 5 year olds....it started like the first week of school for her. She will come home saying so and so is my friend and so and so is not my friend now. Or so and so won't play with me today. I taught 1st grade before I had my kids and saw it so much with girls especially. One incident was the parents making it worse by talking bad about he girls and their parents. Kids pick up on that so I just try to say if she doesn't want to play with you then there are 12 other kids in the class to play with. You can be friends with more than one. I know this probably won't help in your situation but just know it happens and it is starting earlier and earlier. I think we as parents make our kids out to be the greatest and when they get with other who also think they are the greatest then there is going to be a power struggle.

its an power thing to kids
