[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 257008, member: 1991"] First recommended consequence - NOBODY takes naps on the sofa, naps can be taken on the person's bed. That way you're not making a decision favouring one or the other, they BOTH miss out because they both transgressed. The raging - it can happen, can so easily be triggered, big-time. Plus you've got testosterone in the mix. Sibling rivalry. Older one probably pushing the "I'm older than you, bigger than you, do what I say and get out of my way" bulldozer tactics which DO NOT WORK. easy child needs to learn some conflict resolution techniques and to stop trying to force his way through to resolution. difficult child needs to learn to find healthier ways to defuse his anger. You need a whip and a chair, to keep the circus under control. Good luck. If you have to, get rid of the couch. Replace it with a wooden bench. Marg [/QUOTE]
