Whether due to space or convenience, siblings sharing a bedroom happens in homes all over the country, but that doesn’t stop squabbles and bickering on a daily basis!
Give them their own space
No matter what size the room is, it is important each child has a sense of their own space. From decorating individual walls to having their own chest of drawers, try not have them share everything.
Bedtime fights
Not all kids go to bed at the same time, and a younger one might become annoyed because the older one is constantly switching the main light on when entering the room. To stop this, give each a low-watt, side lamp and a night-light to help them see where they are going.
Going through someone’s personal space
No matter how big the room is, siblings are going to end up in the other’s personal space. To stop this, make sure there are rules set up so that everyone is on the same wavelength in terms of consequences. Make sure they know to ask permission first, and what happens if they don’t.
No privacy
There are plenty of room divider options, which can be used to turn the one room into two. They can also be used to create a changing area for a little privacy.
