The oldest go through phases though, they'll play great together for a few weeks and then fight constantly for a few weeks. I read Siblings Without Rivalry which I loved and now I'm reading Peaceful Parent Happy Siblings which I also love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-do-your-kids-play-together#post-2681816 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 21:05:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2681816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not good. It's not really their fault- the big one is 3.5 and still really working on sharing and not wanting everything to herself. The little one just turned 1 and has no concept of taking turns and not just grabbing whatever is interestig to her in that moment. So she grabs things her sister is playing with, her sister gets mad and pushes her away. Or the baby is playing with something that suddenly looks interesting to big sister and she just grabs it, baby cries. It's exhausting. </p> <p>But I get glimpses of how it will be. They like to chase each other around and laugh so hard, then they end up both on the floor hugging each other. I'm really hoping for more of that as they get older!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-do-your-kids-play-together#post-2681769 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 20:07:18 +0000 matador84 2681769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So well. I feel so lucky! Sometimes they hug so hard they hurt each other. I know, that's ridiculous, but really--they always play well together and are the best of friends! Very, very rarely do they argue or fight about anything. (17 months apart). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-do-your-kids-play-together#post-2681700 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 18:09:12 +0000 Boogs 2681700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's 50/50. When it's good it's great, when it's bad it's bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-do-your-kids-play-together#post-2681615 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 16:20:26 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2681615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are currently in a time of peace. Occasional skirmishes but overall they're doing really well right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-do-your-kids-play-together#post-2681598 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 16:08:41 +0000 Freckles 2681598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kids are 2.5 years apart and they play really well. They now know that i'll take away a toy they are fighting over if they can't figure out a way to take turns. Sometimes they fight but for the most part they are really good. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-do-your-kids-play-together#post-2681538 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 15:06:00 +0000 lamariniere 2681538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They usually play together really well. I occasionally have to break up a fight, usually over a toy, but most of the time they get along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-do-your-kids-play-together#post-2681523 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 14:54:02 +0000 Bao 2681523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, it depends on the day for my girls. Some days they will run off and play together for a long time. Other days though, it's a nightmare, they will argue about every little thing the other says and it's a constant battle between them. I soak up the days where they play well together and I don't have to play referee! </p>
