My Daughter Fights With Her Brothers
Though it’s natural for siblings to fight or argue with each other as they grow together, it can become troublesome if things get out of control.
To solve your daughter’s problem, you need to find out why she fights with her brothers first.
Children usually fight with their sisters or brothers due to these main reasons:
1. Children want to attract attention either of their parent or brother/sister hence they start a fight.
What you can do: Make sure you give equal attention and love to every children. Sometimes parents are quick in praising one child and slow with other. Whether kids are younger or older, they all are hungry for parent's approval. Be generous with it.
To strengthen relation between your kids, create situations where they can enjoy and have fun together. Example, take them to park or zoos. Encourage them to paint or do other hobby activity together.
2. Children are bored, weak or hungry.
What you can do: To prevent your child from getting bored, plan her schedule so that she is busy with studies, play, household chores or hobby activities. Feed your child healthy, balanced diet to prevent her from feeling tired, weak or hungry.
Observe if there is specific time in a day or situation which triggers your daughter’s fight. Try to avoid that situation or engage her in playful or some interesting activity during that time.
3. Children feel that parent is favouring brother or sister more
What you can do: Avoid comparing your kids with each other. Also discourage competition between them. Parents usually encourage competition and rivalry among kids by saying “who will be quick” or “who will be first.”
When children fight, don’t get dragged into fight and don’t take sides. Ask your children to first calm down. Give everyone a chance to tell what happened without interruption. Then taking everything into consideration you decide what action has to be taken.
Children always want fair settlement when there is fight. Explain to your daughter that sometimes she has to compromise and adjust depending on the situation.
