Children and siblings will fight, and there's nothing you can do about it!
Is this really true? Does it really help children to prepare for the trials
of adulthood, or can it do lasting damage? As any parent of more than one
child will tell you, competition, jealousy and constant fighting is often
a reality.
For much of the time it's just playful, but it can be relentless,
disruptive and damaging to family life. For some, unresolved childhood conflict
can last well into adulthood. But how can parents find ways of keeping the
peace, while allowing the natural differences between their children to flourish?
This easy-to read and highly informative book helps parents to help their
children live alongside each other.
Using a broad range of case studies and
the real life experiences of both parents and children, readers will understand
what it means to be a sibling and the easy-to-follow tips and practical advice
will demonstrate how to make family life more manageable for everyone.
