A:It's tough when siblings argue,as soon it feels like it's the only way they communicate.Try and keep things in perspective and notice when things are going well between them,even if it's fleeting.Point out how kind and polite they're being and how much you like it.
Try not to intervene too much by asking who did what - you rarely get the whole picture and often just fuel the row.Instead,try and help them find a solution,or if things get too heated,separate them until emotions cool off.This gives everyone the chance to calm down.Try and spend time with each child separately,so they both get some individual attention.
Avoid encouraging competition - so no races to get ready.Instead,try doing things as a team to encourage cooperation,such as spending five minutes tidying up together.This can be a trying time,so look after you,too.Take time away from the home so you can keep cool when arguments flare.
