How to handle three crazy kids?

trouble4u2avoid is right, rules work you would be amazed. But you have to stick to them. You have a lot of patience and you will need a lot more. Respect is another thing. Maybe they fight between themselves since they see you and your husband fight. I have 2 daughters one in college and one out. Rules were real important in our house and they worked.

Dear mommy23, First you need to understand why kids fight…for control, they are bored and the most important reason is because they can. Children love structure; there is no second guess and they get a good sense of right and wrong with structure. The best place is to begin with schedules that they each follow with rewards and consequences. There is always conflict with sibling and some of this is normal. It’s how they handle the conflict is important. This take a good role model. If you argue, yell and get angry it is only normal they will. Good structure starts with the adults in the family. Look at ways to change your behaviour and give them the structure they need. Sue…good luck

I agree with sk_tennyson, Super Nanny is the best! I have 5 kids. They are older now but when things got out of control I would separate them. You need to have rules and stick with them. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Just make sure they are clear what the rules are, what the consequences are and make sure they pay!

slap em around!!! or lock them up in their rooms until they give up lol

call/watch supper nanny!

Try a book called “siblings without rivalry” by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish that should give you a head start.
