so, as many of you know, I have 4 kids from one family.
There is ALOT of fighting. What one has, the other wants. The four year old will pester to death (are you done with that, are you done with that), the 3 yo teases (Iiiiaammm still uuuussiing it). 15 mo twins scream and yank.
I'm thinking of starting a "you fight, it's gone" policy. I have done this occasionally with the older two if they keep at it, with a warning. I'm thinking of just doing it every time. You fight, you loose it....
Do you think it will work? I am SO tired of repeating myself, coaching, trying to figure out who had it first. I know it's part of the job, but it is so much worse with4 sibs....

That's what I do..some days they don't have very many toys left. It doesn't really work though, they just move on to the next thing and start fighting over it. I don't really know what to do about this either. I have 6 kids under 3 and as soon as one of them picks something up, one of the others will walk over and try to grab it
