According to psychologists, there is nothing special about children arguing with each other. Just like adult uncles and aunts, this is how they form relationships.
Therefore, nothing terrible happens. On the contrary, moms and dads should be concerned if there are no quarrels. This means that the child is growing up in a sterile atmosphere.
Parents can only influence their children to reduce the intensity of passions and reduce the number of quarrels.
Here are some tips to help parents do the right thing in this situation.
1. One should not place the blame on elders and immediately forgive the younger ones, because elders cannot bear the burden of responsibility for the actions of their younger brothers and sisters.
And normal relationships are based on equality.
2. It is necessary to respect the decision and choice of children, because even at this age they have their own preferences.
3. The most important thing is to find time for children. Constant contact with adults will help children maintain a friendly atmosphere.
4. It is equally important for parents themselves to stop arguing in the presence of their children.
When to Intervene
Parents can intervene if a quarrel turns into mutual insults or physical violence.
Then you need to find out which of the children made what “contribution” to the conflict, and explain to everyone that this cannot be done.
Children should not be punished without finding out the reasons, otherwise they may develop the belief that their parents do not care about their experiences.
