Compare Two Ways To Handle Sibling Squabbling
You've read two completely different pieces of parenting advice and both sound reasonable in isolation. This compares how each approach actually plays out day to day, how much energy it takes from you, and whether either risks favouring one child, then gives you one to try with a two-week check-in.

1. Explain how each approach below would actually play out day to day, including what the parent needs to do consistently for it to work.
2. Compare them on how quickly each tends to reduce squabbling, how much parental energy each requires, and whether either risks favouring one child over the other.
3. Flag anything about the children's ages or the specific squabbling pattern described that makes one approach more or less suitable.
4. Recommend one approach to try first, with a simple way to tell within two weeks whether it's working.
Approach A: {APPROACH_A}
Approach B: {APPROACH_B}
Children's ages and typical trigger for squabbling: [paste]
