Question
Thank you for your response to my first question. I have a follow up question, just to make sure we are striking a healthy balance of discipline. I'm pretty sure I have read 2 or 3 variations of the "do not disturb the family peace method." We have been separating our boys for 30 minutes on the first offense (I am realizing this is likely not horrible enough), and then the second offense gets them to their rooms for the rest of the day (we have never had more than 1 offense in a given day, but the fighting has increased lately.)
We also currently implement strikes for 3 other misbehaviors we are working on, so should we add disturbing the family peace to our list of misbehaviors that will earn a strike, put these misbehaviors on hold to work on the fighting, or address them all, with separate approaches? Thank you for your advice; there are days when I feel like I am drowning in rules, discipline, consequence and painfully slow improvement!
