Here are things parents should do with children when they argue:
1. Parents are the best role models
As parents, set a positive example for children by demonstrating positive, respectful, and cooperative interactions with others. Through your own words and actions, convey proper communication and interaction skills to your child.

2. Establish clear rules and boundaries
Make sure there are clear rules and boundaries in the family, while explaining why these rules are important for the child.
Let the child understand that arguing is unacceptable behavior and will have consequences. Follow the rules and take appropriate corrective action when the child argues.
3. Develop good communication and listening habits
Encourage children to express their opinions and viewpoints and let them know that their voice is valued. Give children plenty of time to express their thoughts and demonstrate active listening so they don’t feel compelled to argue to attract attention.
4. Teach respect and courtesy
Teach children how to express themselves respectfully and courteously. Encourage children to use appropriate language and tone to convey ideas and remind them of the importance of understanding other people’s perspectives.

5. Reward positive behavior
Provide positive feedback and rewards when children express their opinions and ideas in appropriate ways. This will encourage children to communicate with others in a more positive manner.
6. Promote conflict resolution skills
Teach children to use appropriate methods to resolve conflicts and disagreements. Encourage children to seek compromise and provide constructive solutions rather than engaging in struggles or resistance by arguing.
Patience and understanding are important, provide your child with appropriate guidance and support in developing good behavior habits.
Regardless of the strategy, the important thing is to develop good communication and understanding with children while providing them with positive guidance and support. Moreover, parents themselves need to remain calm and patient in order to demonstrate rational and respectful behavior.
