Fighting

How do you stop the sibling fights omg, my one and two year old fight all the time. My two year old is a bully he never wants his sister to have anything whether it be a toy or food or her cup. he takes everything from her and they end up fighting. They even randomly start fighting in the car. Idk what to do how do i stop this.

Welcome to the club of multiples 😭 I have a 6 year old boy and a 1 year old girl and they also NEVER stop fighting. Over the dumbest stuff. All day long I’m saying “be nice!” “we have to practice sharing” “no hitting! no biting!” Etc etc. it drives me so insane repeating myself a million times to them in such a short time span and I usually end up having to physically separate them for a bit and this is an everyday all day long occurrence. I wish I better knew how to facilitate more peace between them

In the moment, you have to step in and referee who has a turn with what and for how long. But, in the calmer times, I think it's about instilling what it means to be a good brother or sister, to be a family, to build each other up rather than tear each other down, and how their actions contribute to living in a pleasant or unpleasant house. It turns into their identity. At 1 and 2, a lot will sail over their heads, but over time it sinks in. Have them say I love you at bedtime and also when they apologize to each other. Try serving shared plates or having other instances where they are required to share. Your hard work here will pay off.
