Faking it:
I love this tactic when my 5 year old and 6 year old are caught in a cycle of seemingly never ending arguing/fighting. I make them look each other in the eyes (this alone pretty much does the trick), and then I tell them to say something I make up, usually it's "I love you". It makes them giggle, laugh at one another, and realize where/who they are.
Faking it works
Option 2 is when I give them a common enemy besides one another (that would be me). They stops fighting and join forces in a millisecond.
