chosen.content: It's understandable how difficult it can be to take care of two children at once. Consider finding someone to help you out, either with childcare services or with family members taking care of the children. Talk with your friends and family to explore your options. As an additional suggestion, perhaps set up a system of rewards for when the children accomplish tasks, such as chores, on their own that will give them a sense of accomplishment. Or set up activities that they can do together, whether it be a craft or going to the park. Do whatever you can to help de-escalate stressful situations.
