When possible, allow children toto settle their disputes. Parents often only aggravate the situation, trying to sort out who is right and who is wrong. In many cases it is impossible to establish. Most often, both sides are guilty. The so-called »good» child can push, instigate or provoke the »bad» child. That is why when the first child will come running to you for help and support, you can say, »Sorry, you have managed to quarrel, so do your best to make it up the same. I am sure that you will succeed. » Let the problems are solved by those who create them, and you do not interfere. Sometimes you need to send their children to another room so they're settled all disputes.

Often parents can be extremely difficult toI understand why they should not be judges. They consider it their duty to teach children not to fight, and rightly so, but they do not achieve the desired, if they take on the role of judges. This will help them find a solution to a particular situation, but the children do not learn to avoid arguments in the future. If they are satisfied with the intervention of the parents, then why stop fighting?
