Any tips or tricks for when they feed off each other?

    Still going through a phase of "peepee-head" and "poopie-head" and other name calling and make-up words and it's realllllyyyyy gettin old. We are tryin to be consistent with discipline but they would truly be in TO all day, some days. They feed off each other and laugh like it's the funniest thing anyone has ever said. (Totally have to bite my cheek so I don't bust out laughing at their little laughs) But this is getting ridiculous. Just to get someone's attention takes me like 3-4 times of yelling their name because they are too into whatever they are doing or saying.

    I'm exhausted with this game. I need encouragement and any tips and tricks that you use to seperate them in this game.

    The heat is soooo unbearable that we've been cooped up for days. I can't wait to get them back outside! sigh.

    My 5 & 6 year old still do this. I wish I had some advice but I'm right there with you.

    A&R do this still. It's annoying. So I try not to interfere with whatever they're doing until they're at a pause in their play (i.e. changing floors, taking a break, changing activities.) I figure if nothing else, I'm not adding to the noise by repeating their names until they listen.


    ETA: I let them get away with more word play at home than at school. They want to call each other names? As long as they're laughing at each other and don't do it in public, eh, whatever.
