They fight but they love each other!

Oh my two toddlers are the same too. They are 5 and 3 years old and they fight a lot, one wants the toy the other got, when we do buy something it is always on pair, and they sometimes fight over the simplest things, like when my 3 year would call his older brother the wrong name (he speech is not well developed, he says ay ay for kuya, and sometimes he likes to tease his kuya saying ay ay payet or kuya panget. sometimes they would fight and I would really get mad and I would them OK go outside and fioght all you want! and that is the time they would stop, ha ha. but when I do get mad and I scold anyone of them, one would defend the other. and when they have food, they won't eat too without the other and when we buy toys, they always look for each other.

I think a little sibling rivalry is a good thing. As it helps teach about compeition and other things they will see in the coming years. Like sticking up for one self. I grew up with 5 sisters and two brothers, believe you me, there was alot of sibling rivarly going on. I am sure my parents were wanting to pull their hair out. As the siblings learn that even thou they may fight, they still need to love each other, defend each other and be there for each other in their real time of need. Never hold grudges.

This behavior is normal with all kids. That's what parents are for- to teach them how to treat eachother- A pretty difficult job!

that is really cute... i remember as well that i used to fight a lot with my brothers especially my elder one because of petty things as well... such as which TV program we want to watch, the toys, etc... since we only have one TV at home, so we have to share and sometimes my brothers want to watch other TV program which i don't like... but as we grow up and become teenagers, it is reduced drastically and we become more tolerant to one another and can appreciate one another more... take care and have a nice day...

Hi my friend, I have seen this situation in my nephews and nieces. They are always on the go to fight with nonsense. Like what you said, one would want to sit where the other is sitting and then hitting each other when they are there. What a childish acts. Sometimes, it is so annoying when the other cries because of her/his toy was grabbed by the other. But in a few minutes they are again friends. That is why God wants us to have a character like little kids, who never harbor grudges. If we can only have an attitude like little kids who never plan to revenge, the world will be a nice place to live.

Hi Maam Salonga, You made me remember my childhood,Me and my brothers havins some petty quarrels for small things.My kids do the same now.I think it is natural with kids fighting with small things and afterwards they hug and kiss.

I can remember my relationship with my younger brother. We used to fight about everything from a fight who has more chips in the plate to our favourite cars. He really missed me when I got married. He gave me an early morning call next day saying that he was missing me. © ronaldinu 2008

it is very natural among children. more so when they are twins. its good that they love each other. just tio enjoy these childhood.

The situation is very common with toddlers. I remember, even when we were teenagers, we still have to fight with small things, things that if we will think a little deeper means nothing. But toddlers and even teenagers, all of us did passed to the stage. Our kids, and even with their cousins and even neighbors, with almost the same ages, frequently fight over silly petty things. We will just laugh at them, we break them up as parents usually do. But after some minutes though, they still play again.

all children fight. my sister & i did. i think it's just human nature for them to do that.i think all kids do that w/their siblings.

It's kids it was normal as a kids, it is naturally happen with brother or sister, fighting is show how really close they are, especially twins, which has most same common behaviour and characteristic Usually they will be ok, and make friends again after couple of minutes fight

Hi salonga,Children fighting and giving up atlast happens at each and every home.Even this happens in our family.I think its the nature of children all the time fighting for petty things and sharing everything atlast.Even I used to fight with my brother till my marriage and after I came to my husbands place our affection grew and we dont fight nowadays.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

its they nature of all children. they always make ditubance and mistake and fight with others but remember they r learning from their mistakes. when they grow up and look back what they had done before, is would be a good joke and we all laugh at them... am i right

I watch my children sometimes and think my god...That could be my brothers and myself all over again, lol...They were so mean to me as a little kid, but I also know that they have my back no matter what. Josh and Izzy argue over the dumbest of things, but one won't go to sleep unless the other is there, or if Izzy goes to grandma's for the night, Josh gets really bummed and is like...but I miss my sister!!! As for tackling sibling rivalry, I make sure they each get special time with myself and other family members. For example, this weekend my mom is taking my daughter to Disney on Ice and I am taking Josh to some Halloween activities such as festivals and pumpkin carving!!

i think most of kids fight sometime. it is part of our life. looking back when we are young, we remmember the crazy things we've done which result to fight with our friends of brother or sister. i have only one sister, i am the young one. she is 4 years older than me. we are not that much to fight because when me mother saw us they will punishe us both no matter who have started. so when we are fighting, i just keep quiet, and until now i do the same. anyway we are not like a child this time, we have our own children. my son is 2 years old and mu daughter is one month, but i notice how my sone love his sister, he dont want other people to get his sister, he kiss her in the morning and at night, when my daughter is crying He says, "my(mommy),baby,iyak,dede" means, i have to feed my baby so that she stop crying. if he wanted to be notice and i carry the baby, He said " my(mommy), ga, baby li" means i have to put my baby at the bed and i will follow him for what he wanted to do. but if i say that the baby will cry He stop and sit beside me and says (baby, iyak). I know he loves his sister, i hope until they grow he still the same for caring and loving for his sister.
