Looking for some advice over my 3 childrens behaviour

Hello, I am a single mother of 3 children aged 2, 4 and 5 and I am just looking for some advice if possible please. I am stuck on how to handle their behaviour when the 3 or even 2 of them are together. There is shouting, fighting, breaking toys, back chat etc when they are together but when each of them are alone they are so well behaved. I have tried taking toys off them, I have tried shouting, talking calm, the naughty step and I have gotten nowhere with it. So I was just looking to see if anyone has been in a similar situation in the past and has some advice to get us through this haha! Thankyou :)

I think accepting that siblings do bicker, fight, generally seek attention is a good place to start Smile

Easier said than done, and something that feels weird when you first start doing it is to really look for the positive things and give attention then.....the aim being (eg when you are sitting at the table for a meal or trying to get everyone into coast and shoes to leave the house) to praise the one who has done / is doing what you are aiming for more than nagging the one(s) who isn't / aren't I did say easier said than done .
