Money talks!
After constant name calling of each other (ie freak, stupid, idiot etc...) I am done. We had a family home evening about fighting and made this deal. Each week the kids get $2.50 and for every time they call each other a name or are rude they get a point. At the end of the week, we settle up. They get paid and then they owe me $0.10 for each point. Last week went okay, they each owed about a dollar so this week the boys have written notes to remind themselves to be kind and so far they have done pretty good. Who says money can't buy happiness....because it can for moms!!
