Dds aged 7 and 4. They just will not stop fighting. They've been sent to bed early with no stories/reading because they had a ridiculous argument over a tricycle which culminated in them screaming at each other. And I mean really screaming.
Dd1 is bossy; dd2 won't share. Dd1 tends to think it's her way or the high way and dd2 has suddenly become more assertive.
Every single weekend ends in a row because they spend every waking moment arguing. We try to do separate things with them, but they only want to do stuff with dh.
What can we do? Charts don't work, timeout doesn't work, removal of items doesn't work, shouting at them doesn't work. I'm on the verge of cancelling our summer holiday because I can't face the thought of two weeks of mediating.
