For example, my daughter will come to me complaining about her sister and it goes both ways? I try to listen to both sides to see the issue, but it becomes a constant battle eventually where I can't reason with either of them!

Thank you for your comment and ques...Dear Umm Umar:<br />Thank you for your comment and question.<br />When you say ‘fighting’, Do you mean physically or verbally or both?<br />Physical fighting between siblings should be out of boundaries as it may lead to injuries.The idea of using violence to express anger needs to be addressed and discussed with the children no matter their age. The consequences have to be according to age as well. Before you decide that, it’s important to pay attention to what the defense of the child. Sometimes, the one who screams for help is smart enough to start a fight and then blame it on the other sibling. <br />Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) never beat a child or a woman. Unfortunately, this information may not affect older kids the way we would like. So we may have to use other ways to get the message across.<br />Violence whether verbal or physical may be a sign of low self esteem and a defensive technique to cope with it. It may also be a fight for your attention. Raising kids is not easy, and you have to work around their individuality to reach them. At all times, your goal is to make the child see the problem. <br />Once the child is convinced that her actions are serious and that she needs to cooperate, reaching a solution should not be as hard as it is now. Also, keep in mind that your daughter may be going through mood swings as part of her growth. Maybe all she needs is some space and your acknowledgement that she is growing. Sometimes, a hug is all that is needed. <br />Marwa SabryMarwa Sabryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943104473426493064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301622591587673984.post-51702581949343816172010-10-29T10:26:10.764-07:002010-10-29T10:26:10.764-07:00as Salamu 'Alaykum,
I liked this post ma sha ...as Salamu 'Alaykum,<br /><br />I liked this post ma sha Allah... it had some very good insights. <br /><br />One question I have is how do you deal with children fighting with each other? In our home, it seems like an ongoing battle all day! To the point where the oldest especially is very rude with her siblings. How would you address this problem?<br /><br />Umm UmarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301622591587673984.post-46785207572151250332009-12-01T22:38:57.687-08:002009-12-01T22:38:57.687-08:00Sister Marwa,
