Sibling Rivalry
Program Description
This lesson focuses on building strong sibling relationships.
Constant fighting, put downs, and arguing among children cause frustration and concern in most parents. Although sibling rivalry can have several reasons, brothers and sisters often fight to get the attention of parents or to show power or superiority over another child.
Some bickering is normal among brothers and sisters. Constant arguing, fighting, and creating potentially dangerous situations, however, are not normal. This lesson shares some ideas to help reduce your frustration over quarrelsome siblings and lessen the fighting also.
