Will there be less fighting when my eldest starts school?

[sunshinedaises]

I have ds2 and ds4 who spend all their time together when at home and they are in the same room at nursery so they’re never away from each other. They constantly fight!! All day every day fighting, biting, hurting each other. When my eldest is at school and they see less of each other, will things improve?

What do you do to prevent this behaviour when they are with you?

@WolfiefanI can’t prevent it other than separating them

Separate them then! 2 yr old should not be with 4 year old at nursery either. Tell staff you want them separated. Get tough and make sure any biting is immediately dealt with. Can you imagine being a teacher and having to deal with awful dc like this? 4 is too old to bite and presumably you have tried all the “be kind” reasoning that’s had no effect? I’d start giving out some form of punishment that means something. Toys taken away. No food treats. Whatever means something to them.

What are they like at nursery? If they fight there, what is nursery doing?

Of course you can. You’re an adult!

Why are they in the same nursery room?
