A different way to respond to sibling conflict

Nothing feels harder than when siblings fight constantly. It can drive you crazy, make you sad, and make you want to scream.

In this short audio, I share a different way of understanding sibling conflict — one that explains why parental neutrality matters, how children experience threat, and how our responses can either escalate or calm things down. Over time, this shift tends to reduce the amount of tension and arguing between siblings. It certainly has in my own home.
