Mum of boys how do you stop the constant fight

[workingonitagain]

I have 3 ds 4,2, 7 month. A lot of people tell me that their kids at this age play lovely together. Mine aren't. It is mainly caused by my middle child. Not sure why but he is still going through the adjusting of the baby and very challenging. Any tips on how to steer them away when a fight is about to errupt

I have 4dds now 7, 6, 4 and 2 and there is a lot of fighting. Drives me absolutely insane! But sometimes they play super well together also. That super well part didnt happen until they were about 5ish. When they could start playing games like schools.

My 4 and 2 yr old fight a hack of a lot, not old enough for dolls and schools, really. They have a toy kitchen but it usually ends in tears. I know it won't be too long before they get along better. Dds1, 2 and 3 can all get along super well playing games like scooby doo, frozen anything involving a bloody princess!

Do you have something they could play together? kitchen, work bench, shop? Do they have scooters? Something they don't have to share? But it is the same? Bloody hard work, it is!

Got 3 boys. 1 and 3 often get over-excited and/or bully 2. The only thing that seems to work is to separate them!

2 is young! They're annoying and impulsive. So you need to give the 4 year old techniques for dealing with it and, annoyingly, keep a close eye on them.

I have 13, 10, 9 and they got on better when smaller. The last 2 years they have barely got on though the older 2 have got on slightly better once they were at separate schools. All will be at different schools in September. The younger one loves his siblings. The middle one wouldn't care if they went. The older one secretly cares about his siblings .

Should have said the oldest and youngest are boys.

3 boys here ,too similar ages and it's the 4 year old who is the perpetrator.I recommend separation/time out for a couple of minutes.Agree you need to help the eldest deal with it,whilst working on getting the message across to the 2 year old
.I would usually advise eldest to go and do something else away from the annoying one.
It's important to let the 2 year old know what is acceptable and what is not as if he is like that at home chances are he'll do it when you are all out in the park/soft play/whatever and with 3 boys you'll need to be out a lot. It then it becomes even harder as other parents have differing levels of tolerance so need to get on top of it now!

Since I don't just have boys you obviously think I can have nothing worthwhile to contribute

I have 4 boys; 5, 20mo twins and 10mo.

My youngest has SN and doesn't "play" yet.

My twin boys however constantly argue over toys even if you have two of the same! One is out-going and one is hesitant and shy so when they fight it's more tears, tantrums and taddle-tailing! Despite this they hate being seperated and playing seperately... . DS1 is weirdly the peacemaker. When the twins play with him they're little angels; they share, colour, talk nicely and there's no tears! Ds1 prefers to play alone but when the hears the twins fighting he 7/10 joins them, and when he does, they stop. I've never figured out how or why!
