| 81. Will my multiples fight each other, and what can I do? Children
fight, and multiples are no exception. some fighting is normal, but parents
have many ways to help deal with it or limit the amount of fighting. Try
to set a routine or plan an activity during particularly high stress times
that will have the children working together and not fighting. Discourage
tattling. Try not to take the role of referee unless arguments get out
of hand. Show positive attention when the children are behaving. Stick
to your word no matter what, and be consistent. Allow children to experience
the consequences of their behavior.
