The sight of your kids fighting is surely the last thing you want to see. In spite of your best efforts to keep things smooth among them, sometimes, things take a bad turn. Follow these steps to help them maintain a healthy relationship with each other.
How To Help Kids Get Along?
- Set ground rules for acceptable behaviour. There should be some ground rules, like no name-calling, no yelling, etc. Children have to learn that their behaviour will bear consequences and each is responsible for his/her own action.
- Be proactive in giving each of your kids your separate attention. For example, take them to a park, and play with both of them. If one child likes to play and the other likes to read, then participate and encourage both.
- Ensure that kids have their own time with their own set of friends without their sibling tagging along.
- The concept of family should be clear in your child’s mind. Have fun together as a family. Spend time with your kids and ease any tension between them. If fights become frequent, then hold family meetings to dissolve these issues and reduce conflicts.
- Recognize when kids need time apart from each other. Try arranging separate activities for each child occasionally.
These simple tips will really help your kids bond with each other.
