Do your children fight like cats and dogs? Heck, my cats and dog get along much better than my kids do, most days. If you’ve got a kid picking on another kid, make them apologize by cleaning up the other’s room or doing one of their chores for them. Get some work out of your chillun AND parent, all at the same time. Fab!

Oh, I love this idea! It will definitely come in handy this summer.

Wish I'd heard this one a little sooner. My kids are nearly grown now. Finally as teenagers, they seem to be becoming pals.

This is a great tip! One that I will definately be trying!!!

Most of the time both kids have some part in the trouble. All the better - more hands to be assigned chores :D After they've been given a thorough talking to, of course, to clear up the issue.

Seriously, I have found that even trivial issues between siblings need to be threshed out with the help of a parent lest they fester into resentments.

ooOOOooH , I am so gonna try this. My kids have been driving my crazy with all the fighting the last couple of weeks!
