Ways to get your cranky boys to calm down

Yes even the loving and caring brothers sometimes fight with each other. It doesn't matter how much they get along. Theirs always that cranky moment in a boys day where they are maybe tired or just cranky. Maybe they had a long car ride. Maybe they've been out in the sun all day. Well if you ever experience this type of behavior don't split them up. Or send them to their room. Instead

1. Break up the fight
2. Talk to them and find out why they are fighting maybe they just had a small disagreement
3. Once you have found out the situation you can address it lets say for instance the saw someone with a toy but they wanted the toy now you know the situation
4. This is where you ask questions like

• Who had the toy first
• Who's toy is it
• Is there a way to share the toy

1. maybe it's a car and the both want the car with every problem theirs a solution if it’s the car then simple create a game
2. or maybe its not a disagreement maybe they are just not happy with how the other person is playing

in this situation you have to take precaution at this stage the child is vulnerable

1. Pull them apart
2. Talk to them separately
3. Find out what happened who started it

once you have done that only then can you bring the both of them together. Talk to both of them but never do he said she said with them. It only makes it worse keep the private conversation anonymous. Instead you address the situation for example

"Daytona I saw you hit Nevada you both say that one of you aren't playing fair. And both of you know it's not nice and we should all play fair. So Daytona how can we show your little brother how to play fair"

Make them show you they are the teacher in this case you are the student.

No matter the scenario there is a way around it you should never go into disciplinary actions right away their is a time when you should and should not discipline the boys
