I've recently started letting my kids get on with it if they start to fight with each other. They swipe at each other for 20 mins then someone cries and it usually stops.
This is about once or twice a day, they're 9 and 4. I used to get involved but this seems a much less stressful option and not massively worse then when I got involved. I put my head in a bubble.
I was just thinking about it and wondering whether it's irresponsible of me. However they don't seem to be trouble makers outside of the house. Obviously I'd jump on it straight away if they did it to someone else or in public.
What does everyone else do?
