How to deal with sibling rivalry |
In case of rivalry amony your children, as a parent, you should...
Oversee the conflict resolution:
You should, as much as possible, let your children work out disputes themselves. The idea is to give them as little direction as possible.
What you should do:
There are times they can't work it out - so you coach them, give them ideas how to compromise but the best thing is to have them resolve it themselves. You will be surprised how fast most children will be able to work out something.
What you should not do:
Do not try to figure out who started it. In most cases, you will never resolve this. Usually both children are at fault.
What to watch out for:
Your job as a parent is not to solve your children's problems, but to teach them how to solve these themselves. They must learn to make compromises. As much as possible they should be the ones who work out the compromise which is reasonable.
