My children fight constantly and I don't know whether this is normal or something I need to address.
Children's ages: [AGES]
What the conflict looks like: [DESCRIBE — physical fighting / constant bickering / one bullying the other / competing for my attention]
How I currently respond: [referee / send them to their rooms / ignore it / lose my temper]
How long this has been the pattern: [always / got worse recently / started when X happened]
Give me a practical sibling conflict guide:
1. **What's normal** at these ages vs what's concerning
2. **What I'm doing that might be making it worse** — the well-meaning parental mistakes
3. **When to intervene and when to let them work it out** — the distinction that matters
4. **Teaching conflict resolution** — specific language and processes for them to use
5. **One-on-one time** — how reducing competition for my attention reduces sibling conflict
6. **When it's genuinely bullying** — the signs and the different response required
