Often makes them stop and think about the situation quite differently.

It’s very rare that one of them will even speak before they launch into fighting. Last night for example Mr 4 deliberately bumped Mr 3’s row of blocks – he said to stop – and then Mr 4 grabbed a block and started hitting Mr 3 in the head 🙁 it all happens in a split second. Tiredness didn’t help there, and the weather is really hot at the moment here. But this kind of thing happens multiple times a day. It really wears me down and I’m reacting less and less how I want to. Often my hands are full with my 6 month old or I’m trying to make food etc when it happens. If I’m right there with them and talking through what’s happening while they play we avoid it, but I just can’t do that for the entire day. Any words of advice! I’m really struggling right now!

Or maybe book suggestions? I can often get to the first thing I need to say, but struggle where to go after that. This mom needs some more modeling 🙂 thanks!
