There
may be times when you are trying to get out of the door
in the morning and your children are arguing
and fighting.
It's very difficult if you are not around
to hear what has happened to cause the fight.
Here are some strategies you
might like to try:
- Separate them, find a simple
task for them to do (depends on children's
age)
- Have them make their bed
- Have a surprise box under your bed
with 'interesting' items in. Only get it out in times
of need!
- Put a favourite music / story
tape on (which can be continued in the car)
or a short video
- Explain to them, you are not happy
with their behaviour and give the reasons why
- Praise them if they are trying
to co-operate.
