"I make them do it in step because I know how competitive they are,"
"At the end of the day, when Dad and I are gone, they'll only have each other. So sometimes the best fix is a run - side by side, no competition, just getting the bad juju out. Before long, they'll forget they're mad at each other and just be mad at me instead. 😂."
"This! Works magic for my 2 boys."
A mother settles her sons' arguments by having them run a mile together, forcing matched pace to prevent competition. The two boys, aged 12 and 10, are homeschooled and compete in the same motocross class. During disputes they jog in silence, synchronizing steps until tension eases and laughter returns. The practice aims to teach cooperation and a way to process emotions together that can last into adulthood. Other parents praised the method on social media and reported similar calming results when using running or walking laps to resolve sibling conflicts.
