Kids who fight non stop. Help!

My (almost) 4-year-old and 7-year-old fight SO MUCH. Usually we can distract them - and older one goes to school and being outdoors most of day otherwise is how I manage to help them get on, they get on really well when running around the beach or a muddy place.

But that is out of the question now. And our garden is a small patio.

At the moment, they are arguing, hitting and fighting ALL DAY LONG. I struggle to find tasks they’re both keen on, and 4-year-old is not the kind of kid who wants to do his own thing. He wants to do what his brother is doing all the time.

Help! What do I do with fighting kids?! I’m going nuts!

You need to think of consequences (either gaining or losing something they love) that will genuinely bother them, and apply them consistently every single time. Hopefully they'll get the idea eventually!
