Sibling Rivalry

Screaming kids got you down? Does every situation end up in a fight? Do you find yourself threatening . . . “One more time and I will have to separate you two!” OR “That’s it, I’ve had it! Knock it off right now or I’ll . . .!” OR “Why can’t you two get along!!!? You are brother and sister! I just don’t understand why you are so MEAN to each other!”
Truth is, as parents we have A LOT to do with our kids fighting with each other. I think many parents suspect that they have SOMETHING to do with all the fighting, but they can’t figure out WHAT they are doing that keeps the fighting alive.
Here are a few questions to consider:
- If you leave the room when the kids are fighting, do they follow you?
- Do the kids tell on each other when the fight has ended?
- Do the kids demand that you punish one or the other of them for causing the fight?
- Do the kids yell loudly enough for you to hear?
- And finally, if you offered them Ice Cream would they stop the fighting and yell HURRAY!
If you answered YES to one or all of these questions, I am about to reveal to you the primarily reason your kids are fighting and THREE things you can do today to banish it from your home. Read More . . .
