[QUOTE="pigless, post: 20405, member: 228"] Bananaz, what sometimes works for me at home and at the pre-school is forcing them to cooperate or lose something they both like. For example, between my two they are sitting at the moment and watching Curious George (LOL). If they started fighting, I would tell them to get along or else the tv will be off the rest of the night. I've done that enough times that they know I will do it. At school, if two are arguing over a toy, I first ask them to sort it out. If that doesn't work, I send those two to different "centers" (kitchen/trucks/puzzles) and allow two new kids to play with whatever the others were arguing over. Today, I actually had to give a game a time-out due to too much friction. After about half an hour new kids were allowed to play it and all did well. I try to stay out of the fracas as much as I can. If someone is in danger or they are just driving me bonkers, then I send my two kids at home to different rooms. [/QUOTE]
