How to make brothers not fight

Sibling fights is the most natural thing in the world. Two brothers even though they have a great time there will be a time when they will fight, but as parents it is essential to redirect the fights and foster the bond to avoid that these fights are too serious or end up in very negative feelings.

Why sibling fights occur

As parents (and sometimes as referees) it is normal to see them from time to time as there are sometimes personality clashes and even some mini-battles. The worst thing for parents is to see how two or more of their children feel rivalry between them. But the degree of rivalry between the brothers and having positive or negative consequences will depend to a large extent on what the parents do about it. That there is a rivalry between siblings is not an inevitable consequence of having more than one child.
