Jack (6, with ASD) and Abby (2, typical) have been fighting like there's no tomorrow lately and I'm going crazy! Every time I turn around, someone is hitting someone, or biting someone, or yelling or whining. I don't know what to do. It usually starts with them doing an activity together, playing outside, playing a game, watching a movie, etc. The little one decides to change the rules, cause she's two and she does that, and my son, who's a stickler for rules, schedules, lists, routines, etc. can't bend those rules for her and gets angry. He yells or whines, she hits, he hits back, she bites, I go crazy trying to break it up. And it happens so fast, I can't get there fast enough to difuse the situation. At some point, it doesn't matter who started it, but I can't really discipline them the same. Has anyone here gone through the same thing? Any suggestions?
Although, it was pretty cute, this morning: They were watching someithing on tv this morning about sharing. Jack wanted Abby to share her two horses (she lives for horses), and she didn't want to. I heard Jack say in a frustrated tone, "But, Abby, you're supposed to share!". She yelled no, and came running down the hall for me, telling me that Jack was trying to steal her horsy. He comes running after her, yelling, "No I didn't. Mommy! I'm trying to teach her how to share!" I couldn't help but laugh at that one.
