I have 3 boys- 7, 4 and a baby.
The older two have started fighting really horribly. It seems to escalate to full on hitting within moments of them being together. They can't seem to find a way to play together and get along, even though they often enjoy the same activities. It's exhausting and depressing.
Can anyone suggest any ways to stop the fighting and encourage them to play together? I have read Siblings Without Rivalry which had some helpful things, but often the arguments are not really 'about' anything, so the conflict resolution strategies don't seem to quite apply. They both get lots of individual time and attention from us, although less since the baby came along. Please help!!
