My boys fight 24/7 and I am worried...?HELP!?
My sons are 6 and 9 years old and the fight worse than any siblings I have seen before. I expect them to argue, and occasionally get into a phyical fight...but it is getting ridiclous. They never,ever,ever,ever agree on anything. Yelling turns into physical altercations 80% of the time. Kicking below the belt*ugh*,biting, punching, pinning the other and covering their head with a blanket,...and just recently pinching the others nose. Pinching the nose and covering the mouth to get the other to shut up. I freaked out! We are a VERY gentle family. The have never experienced any sort of violence between thie dad and I, or any other family of friends, as far as that is concerned. They share a room out of necesity, but have a good amount of their own space. We have always shared everything in the house with each other. There are not a lot of yours and mine sorta things. Everyone have 3 or 4 things of their own, and we like it that way. I am scared that they will hurt each other.
We try to give them one on one time with mom or dad, but we do have one more lillte one. Is this a guy thing? A peeing contest of some sort? I want to tell the doctor and ask what he thinks,...but honestly, I am worried that he will contact child welfare or something. I worry because the oldest is getting a bit more and more violent. He is exceptionaly smart and and very good lier, and the youngest pushes the oldest ones buttons relentlessly. It's like a mission of his or something....I am real worried. PLEASE,...any real suggestions? I dont need any smart a** comments, so plz refrain.

Boys will be boys.
My brother and I used to fight like that, then about the time I turned 15 and he turned 14 we just stopped and got along great.

lay down some rules........like literally write things that you expect and things that aren't allowed. if they don't follow your rules start taking away priveleges (computer, playing w/ friends, TV, anything they enjoy) once they follow your rules reward them with the things they like to do (possibly a reward could be the whole family going out to dinner or a movie). hopefully this gives you an idea. good luck!

They are brothers and they will fight about something no matter what. I suggest getting them into some sort of boxing class or karate class, so their teachers/instructors can teach them how to control their tempers. You need to make time with your kids individually.
