Sibling Rivalry Counseling
Don’t you hate it when your kids are agitating one another, screeching and crying out for your rescue, when all you want is peace and harmony in your home? It may seem as if there is just never enough of you to go around. Sibling rivalry is normal and if fact, the more loving and attentive a parent is, the more likely jealousy will arise and conflicts will ensue. That’s right, the more loving and attentive the parent is, the more likely the child is to expect attentive care and be upset when not getting it. Great. So your parenting efforts are backfiring on you?
Parenting Efforts Backfire?
Now what? As a loving and attentive parent, you find the fighting is upsetting, you may feel ambivalent, confused, and ineffective, and want to solve the problems for them quickly to defuse the unwanted feelings and behavior. How will they ever learn to resolve their conflicts if you jump in and do it for them?
