Referee. Hall monitor. Manner police. Supporting our kids through their challenges together can feel like we’re wearing a bunch of crazy-ass hats, and their constant antics push us to yell, threaten, judge and issue consequences. Join us this week to explore a few common moments of sibling conflict that drive us all bonkers -- a toddler hitting the new baby, a 4 yr old fighting with their smaller sib and 8 yr old twins verbally abusing one another!
We’ll discuss ways we’re leaning in to sensitively support the sibling relationship towards higher emotional intelligence, elevated conflict resolution skills and a solid long-term friendship. The hard stuff is the good stuff. We laugh, we cry, we lean in… join us!
