Re: Bickering siblings — how much is normal?
I think a lot of bickering can be normal. People who live in close proximity can get on each other's nerves. Especially when that person is exhibiting childish behavior that you've just outgrown. But like Aerynne wrote, we can do something about it. I am continually teaching my children that they need to take time to get away from their siblings whether it's in their room, outside, whatever. When their childishness is getting to you, take a break from them. Also finding activities that they enjoy together. Getting out of the house seems to be the best thing. They can bicker in the backyard but get along at a park.
