Structured Sibling Time

Most sibling fights happen during unstructured time. Boredom plus proximity equals conflict. The fix is not separating siblings or filling every minute. It is creating structured togetherness — activities where each child has a clear role.

Also build in alone time for each child. Every child needs moments without siblings. This is not a punishment — it is a recharge. Even 20 minutes of solo time reduces afternoon conflict because each child gets a break from the social demands of sharing space.
