New Mom at age of 52!!

[Dod77]

I'm not a new mom per say,  at the age of 52. I'm a grand mother that's raisig 2 of her 6 grand children. They are brother and sister. The oldest is Taesha she is 11 and Jaelen  my 10 year old grand son. Thy are good kids,they are on the principals honor roll at school Jaelen plays football and Taesha plays basketball. They go to church and Bible school and as I said for the most part are good kids.The problem I have with them is that they re constantly fighting with each other. I have tried everything that I can think of. I have them in counseling and that doesn't seem to be helping. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get them to quit their fighting? Jaelen thinks that Tasha is always bossing him around and Taesha thinks that Jaelen is always acting like a whining little boy. An suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you, Dody77

Make them hug it out or sit and do something together. If that doesn't help, then I would use consequences. They are at that tween age so they probably need an extra dose of patience as well!
