Tips for arguing children

[KindergartenKop]

Ds1 is 6, ds2 is 3.5. This summer I've been home with them most of the time and every time they interact it ends in tears. Often it starts off as a fun game but ds1 will be pretending to be a wild animal of some sort and then ds2 will cry but ds1 finds it funny so will keep in scaring him. Alternatively, they end up physically fighting/wrestling and it'll start fun but end up with someone crying.
How do I make ds1 more aware of when to stop? I've tried punishing him with telling off and naughty corner but it continues! Is there anything I can do?

I wish I knew the answer to this as have spent the summer trying to block out/separate my 3, who range from 6-14!!

I might get them cells.

Any other tips?

I would stop any play before it gets physical. The older one is always going to have to the upper hand so it is rarely fun. Make a “no fighting” rule

Ah here, they're learning about boundaries & building social skills. Once they're not physically hurting each other, I'd leave them be & monitor from arms-length. I have 3 (11, 9, 4) and they take turns in sparring with each other. They're learning & although it can grate on my nerves, I try really hard to let them figure it out themselves. Key word is 'try'!lol I don't have infinite patience ffs ;)

It's difficult. I was constantly pushed around/hit by my big brother (who had add) and I wish my parents had intervened more! So I'm reluctant to let the little one be hurt, but maybe you're right, I need to let them resolve it more!

Sorry, Asd, although also add I think!

Mine bicker almost non stop. It's exhausting and frustrating. If they don't stop, and this week they have been awful.with it, I send them to their rooms to split them up. There are times when they carry this on by shouting through their doors, with a room in between.

It's sooo draining.
