How to stop bickering kids

How to stop bickering kids
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

I've got a 10-year-old girl, Danni, and a 12-year-old boy called Harry. They're beginning to fight like cat and dog and always want me to take sides but I find they stop arguing much quicker if I keep out of things.

Hannah, about 1 year

I have three children, the older two argue, and I see it as a boundary issue, they see how far they can push each other. I believe I do have to intervene, as they are still learning about life and we need to teach our children the right and wrong way of handling situations. so hopefully when they are adults they have the experience from sibling conflict, to handle real situations.
