Discussion about who did what wrong, suggesting apology, having them do a siblings chore, no playing with friends if they cannot be nice to siblings, limiting sugar and screen time because Ime those two things make it even harder for kids to control themselves, separating them, giving them something to do like a chore or quiet book time or board games or puzzles. But it doesn’t seem to foster care and empathy or help them love each other or even help teach them not to do it next time. All the talk I can do doesn’t seem to help them understand why what they did was mean or even though they say they will do it differently next time they don’t.
