Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Bickering siblings

My children go through bickering periods. As in they will be bickering with each other non-stop for days and then will go days with minimal bickering.

Like pp has mentioned my kids need to reset. Not only does that include saying nice things about each other, but I often suspend joking around each other and generally limit their time together unless I am present. Which usually ends up with them begging to be together and promising they will be kind.

Dh thinks they should work it out on their own. Which I just cannot do. My siblings are significantly older than me, so I didn't grow up "fighting" with siblings so their fighting ends up triggering to me (like a pp said it breaks my heart) and I end up yelling, so it's not good for me and they can't do it around me.

I love the themes of the month! What a great idea!
