Children should have their own space so that this way you will get them to fight less. To do this, the first step is to create individualized rest areas at home. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, being quarantined means that children will tire of each other. You can give the children their own spaces for the times when they just need a break.
Even in small homes, you can still find a way to create an individualized place for each child. If your children have their own rooms, create a resting point in a corner.
Individual rest areas
If you share a room, it can be a place next to the dresser or in front of the bed. They could also be in your bedroom or under the kitchen table. The goal is to make sure that it is a safe space, that it is only for one child and that it is accessible anytime they need a break. If you have cozy materials (cushions, stuffed animals, blankets), even better!
When your kids start to get frustrated with each other, remind them about their rest areas. Remember, it is a positive break, not a waiting time. Don't send your kids there when they're angry, rather gently ask if they'd like a break. You can say something like: "You seem frustrated right now, do you want to take your teddy bear and relax in your special place until you feel happier?"
Individual time program for parents with children
Meeting your child's needs for attention and connection will help reduce tension between siblings and allow them to better manage frustration and stress. The attention they need from you right now includes real physical attention as well as emotional attention.
If you have a baby who needs a lot of care, create blocks of time for older children when the baby naps. If your children are older, plan blocks of time with one child when their other children participate in their favorite activities. Have one child watch a show while playing a game with another. Have a child eat a snack while reading one book to another. It's okay if you just spend a few minutes together as long as each child has time to be alone with their parents.
