[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 62053, member: 2960"] Oh, I hear you, lady. There is always something going on with my cubs. If I send them to their rooms for fighting, as soon as I let them out, they are looking for each other. They simply cannot stay away from each other. I roar, "Step away from the brother!" and "Leave your sister alone!" on a regular basis -- and one of the cubs is allegedly a easy child. There is a book I like called "Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too", by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish. Not magic by any means, but has a lot of good suggestions and gives you some insight as to WHY the cubs do what they do. The "collaborative problem solving" method in "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene can be used for solving "inter-cub" relations as well. I make it a point to never compare them to each other and to spend some time with each individually. I also explain that they have a special relationship that they will value someday. They will actually help each other sometimes and even defend each other once in a while, so there is hope. It's really hard to listen to it sometimes, so I sympathize with you. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
