What causes sibling rivalry?

Tweet

As a parents of 5 kids, I got so stress when I saw them fighting for each, it's good thing that i had read an article in a magazine that really helps me, i would like to share it with you mylot friend, maybe it could also help if there is a situation like this.... 1. each child needs to be reassured of his parents love. 2. Avoid comparisons and focus on compassion and cooperation. Don't say "why can't you be like your sister or like your brother. 3. set guidelines for handling disagreements. * don't get angry and upset yourself. * be fair and listen to both sides of the story. don't favor one child * accept your children angry feelings and allow them to tell you how they feel without resorting to name-calling or physical violence. If they are violent, get them away from each other and have them cool down for a while. * set prior agreements on hot issues (such as respect for personal property, sharing, and tv schedule) instead of just reacting to situations that come along. * after setting the ground rules, let your children work out their own problems with each other.
