In this episode, I am giving you some pointers on how to Combat Sibling Rivalry. You’ll never be able to stop the quarrels and the arguments between the kids – and nor should you. Sibling Rivalry is a natural way for your child to learn what is acceptable behavior (and what’s not) – and how best to connect with people.

Home is a safe environment for your child to learn the unwritten rules of relationships.

My 12 Pointers are :

Remove Your Own Emotions & Ego – Your feelings don’t come into this!
No Favourites – This upsets the already fragile balance.
Be Fair – You don’t have to be equal.
Avoid Comparisons & Labels – These can have a lasting effect.
Spot the Triggers – To help diffuse explosive situations before they happen.
Group Family Fun – Make time to be Together.
Spend 1-2-1 time with each child – They NEED your attention.
Observe the Conflict – Pick Your Battles.
Have a Family Pow-Wow – Where everyone has a voice.
Manage Expectations – So everyone understands the boundaries.
Intervene if Necessary – This goes without saying.
Act as a Team – Be one another’s role models.

We find ourselves in strange times at the minute. Parenting is very different.
Globally, many countries are in lockdown, in a bid to ‘Beat The Coronavirus’.
