My kids are always fighting

Its natural that siblings fight. During our time, we did that thing too. However, punching with each other is a no no for me. I told my kids that everytime one of them made wrongdoing, I will be the only one to reprimand him/her. Nobody could hurt each other physically.I will talk to my child that he/she did something bad. Smacking them is not good and is not the proper way to discipline your child instead they made worse. I have done that before but i've realized it didnt work. So, i tried talking to them to respect each other. I told them to love each other because they can only have each other during times of troubles. So far so good. There are still fighting but not as often as before. I hope this could help.Good luck!!!!

Congratulations, your children are perfectly normal! My 8-year-old grandson and his 5-year-old sister do the very same thing. He punches her, she cries like he ripped her arm off, but she also antagonizes him and is asking for it about half the time. When they start up, they get one warning to stop, then they get a time-out at the kitchen table. Then she whines cause "he's looking at me" so I make them both put their heads down on the table. I make them sit there awhile, until they have been quiet a few minutes, and more often than not they end up laughing together while they're still at the table. What I have noticed, though, is that if anyone else picks on his sister, the brother is the first to come to her defense! I'll bet your son does the same thing! I suggest you buy ear plugs until they are old enough to move out! Siblings act this way to get attention from the parent, or whoever's in charge of them. By letting yourself get upset by their behavior, they are getting exactly what they want! Kids would rather be yelled at than ignored. Try to ignore them as much as possible when they are acting up, but be sure to praise them when they do cooperate and play together nicely. And try to spend a little individual time with each of them. Just a note: I do believe in spanking kids, but it should be done just often enough for them to know it's a possibility if they don't behave. Spanking too often just teaches them that big people get to hit little people.
