[QUOTE="SnowAngel, post: 79378, member: 4010"] I am an only child so having 6 kids arguing was new to me. Not sure this is the right thing to do, but my niece is 12 and my daughter is 14, boy do they fight. It makes me crazy some days. I get tired of being the go between. One day I was fed up and I decided to let them stay together all day. I got the idea off of the movie Parent Trap. They had to stay together all day in a room, but were allowed potty breaks. They sat next to each other when they ate. They did argue but I ignored it. Three days of ignoring them and it settled down a bit. What kept them together? the consequences. If they were caught apart they would start loosing privelages. Pretty soon they are left with books and each other. A teacher that I know was fed up in jr high with all the she did she said stuff. She gave every kid a notebook. When the kids had a problem they needed to write what the problem was and 3 ways on how it could be solved. Then if the kids still needed her help she would get involved, however the kids usually figured it out on their own. [/QUOTE]
