As parents we often spend much of our time intervening in sibling upsets. There’s nothing more upsetting than seeing one of your children be unkind to the other. But what can we do to help them foster their relationship without shame and blame? How can we ensure they are learning how to effectively communicate with one another if we don’t use punishments or threats?
Today I’ve brought in Dr. Laura Markham, to talk about how we can best navigate sticky situations between siblings, how we can talk them through their struggles and most importantly how we can connect in order to move them into a more loving relationship. 
If you have been struggling with sibling rivalry, this episode might really shed some light on ways to navigate these tough situations.
