STOP THAT BICKERING!

I can almost remember every fight, every quarrel I shared with my siblings as we are growing up. Some are vivid as the story told by my father to his friends of how my sister chased me around and round the house with my stick. By round the house I don’t mean inside …. No outside or rather within the peri meter the fence; I grew up in a rural setting. As a parent, you could try reasoning with your children by explaining how important family is and how much better life would be if they just found a way to get along.

You try find to out the underlying problems of their bickering by asking your children why they feel they are fighting so much and how the situation could be resolved. Or you could simply insist that they stop. But sometimes, talking with your children just is not enough. In fact, it often does not work.

If you have tried to be cooperatives ,patient, and rational like my parent were, but find your children simply will not stop fighting, set them down and explain that you have had enough of their constant bickering and are no longer going to tolerate it. Explain what their bickering is doing to you and to them emotionally and what you fear it is their relationship. Then try this tip: Break them up and remove the object.
