Stop Fighting with Your Fighting Children Today

How many times have your told (ok, yelled) your children to stop
fighting. Perhaps you even used the word: "Please" first. This
usually ends up in you fighting with your children about their
fighting, leaving you frustrated and angry. Perhaps you said a few
things in the process you later regreted! As a parent, I have been
there and done that too. Your children may have felt rejected and
shamed.

You may have thought that if your children would only stop fighting,
you wouldn't have to yell or fight with them. While that could be
true, the better angle is to take the responsibility you have as a
parent and start making a conscience choice to find another solution
to fighting. A family fight is something that you should be looking
to totally eliminate from your life and the life of your children.
It starts with the parent.

When I say that you must rid your life of fighting altogether, then
you need to know exactly the kind of fighting that I am referring
to. Fighting can take many forms. It means to participate in verbal
exchanges which involve intense anger, rage, and sometimes physical
abuse to your children.

Fighting with your kids also means to have verbal assaults on each
other by rehashing the same old drama over and over again until your
children are so frustrated that they become emotionally immobilized.
Is this the kind of "healthy fighting" that you and your kids are
going through? Do you still agree that is is "Ok" to have such
negativity in the house?

If you genuinely want to eliminate fighting in your home with the
children, then you absolutely must come to a decision yourself. And
it does not involve waiting for your children to change. You must
officially make fighting a thing of the past. It means that you must
take a vow and refuse to raise children in an atmosphere of violence,
both physical and mental. It means choosing love over anger, each
and every time.
