They just seem to be at one another all the time. Sometimes, it seems as if my kids hate each other. Does this go on in other families, or are we just unlucky?
​
The good news is that sibling fighting and rivalry are as old as time itself! As soon as kids have to share the love and attention of parents and resources in a home, the stage is set for jealousy, challenge, and conflict.
So, what do we need to know to keep sibling conflict within healthy limits? That’s right – you won’t stop it entirely, but we do know that parents who school themselves in some fundamental knowledge about sibling fighting are able to manage it in clever ways and stop scrapping between the kids, completely dominating the vibe in the home.
In this funny and highly interactive workshop, taken from Chapter 4 of “Raising Beaut Kids” Bill puts sibling fighting and rivalry under the microscope as we look at:
What fuels sibling fighting
What parents unwittingly do that fires up sibling fighting
Whether your home is competitive or collaborative (we use a cool questionnaire for this)
What to do about getting your kids on the same team more of the time
What sibling abuse is and what you can do if things have gotten this bad
When to step in and when to step back and just observe your kids’ conflicts
How to teach the kids to restore peace in the aftermath of sibling conflict
Parents find this a truly enlightening workshop and often report almost instant changes that have come to their homes with just a tweak of a few of their responses to their kids’ fighting.
