Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has got some helpful, workable tips. I have 2 1/2 year old boy/girl twins. The constant fighting, arguing and violent behaviour ie pushing, hair pulling biting is driving me nuts. I feel that I am having to constantly pull them off each other. I now only intervene when it's really escalating or very rough. Can't really find a tactic that works. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sue, I've got booy/girl twins that are now 3 1/2 and still fight but nothing too serious I guess. What I would recommend is one really awful week - spend a week putting them in time out/naughty chair etc (whatever you normally do) and placing them there every time they bite, hit etc. Obviously being young they will not sit very long but just explain why you placed them there before they get up. Persevere for a week and they should settle down a bit, but it's one really long awful week! Hope it works for you, good luck!
