Hello, I am a single mum to three boys aged 7,8 and 10. Left their father nearly 3 years ago. I am finding the fighting between them difficult to control, it doesn't matter how many times I ask them not to do it they just don't listen. I have found that the younger two can wind the eldest up and he just lashes out every time, I have explained to the younger two not to do it and I have also asked the eldest numerous times to just ignore them but they don't listen. The eldest can be especially unkind and he really lashes out at them - today it was because they weren't eating their cereal properly, so he hit one of them in the arm:( it's becoming silly, the youngest got into trouble today and when I asked him why he hurt another child he said because they were annoying me, I told him he can't behave like this to which he replied my eldest brother does it:( any advice on how to resolve these problems would be much appreciated, I know children/boys fight but it's getting silly now. Anything, any words or ideas would be great, thank you for reading:)
