Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too (How to Help Your Child)

Product Information

Constant references to "daddy's little girl", "he's the creative one", or "this one's the oldest, this one's the middle, and he's the baby" leave parents with the impression that no matter what you do or say to or about your kids, you will scar them irreparably.

The early chapters use a ridiculous polygamy metaphor to try to illustrate how children feel about siblings, depicting jealousy as the only emotion two people loved by the same person could feel for one another.Another child may feel resentful because they think they don’t get to do as much because they are younger. I appreciated the real world anecdotes, the reasonable wisdom, and the reflection on adult sibling relationships. Part manifesto, part how-to guide, Good Inside is a resource for a generation of parents looking for a new way to raise their kids. Look at these from normal perspectives and remember nothing is impossible to solve and compassion is the only key. We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board?

While most parenting programs are designed to coerce kids to change, Parenting Without Power Struggles does something innovative, showing you how to help your children awaken their natural instincts to cooperate, rather than employing threats or bribes, which inevitably fuels their resistance.Negative emotions may stay dormant for a while, but they will resurface later in other forms and their eventual damage can be devastating. But, this book has many Biblical references and is popular in many Christian communities, so I don't think my opinions are irrelevant. I love that it's not JUST Faber and Mazlish's experience as parents, but those of their students as well. Only through understanding it will parents be able to empathize with their children and choose the right approach to reduce or even eliminate conflict between children. Parents need to pay attention to multiple children's emotions simultaneously with more than one child in the family, which is a new challenge for them.

If you’re not there to see the argument, sit down with them and talk about what happened, and make it clear that aggression of any kind is not acceptable in your home. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The common thread in these scenarios is that you, as the parent, are taking the role of sideline advisor, not on-the-field referee.

Supposedly, this enables the parent to show the child that they accept the child's feelings, but not their actions of violence toward a real person.
