Is your home a combat zone, with the kids fighting over everything from toys to who tooted? Buy as many $2 rolls of nickels as you have kids, and write one name on each roll. When someone squabbles, no matter who's "at fault," the bickerer loses a coin. At the end of the week, each kid gets to keep the money that's left in his or her roll.

 

The only downside is that you may never know the true identity of the family's secret tooter. (The smart money's on the family dog.)

 

Now, for your chance to WIN a Safety 1st high chair and booster seat, tell us: On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad are your kids' battles with siblings?

I like that idea! I'll have to try that when my kids are a little older and start to understand the concept of money. :)

So far, they don't fight at all.  But, they're 4 years apart, so maybe that helps.
