I think most parents will naturally react by trying to stop the fighting kids by scolding and nagging. Personally I had not encounter such a situation myself because I only have one child. But I read somewhere that we should start the training or teaching the kids when they are not busy fighting with each other. To try to lecture them at the heat of the moment will be of no use whatsoever.

I agree with you Evelyn. No sense trying to tame the bulls when they are in the rage. However, I also feel that we must not wait too long before explaining to them what is right or wrong and that what they did was unacceptable. I think the longer we wait, the harder it is for the kids to relate their actions to what we teach them.

That's not just logic. That's really sensible.
