You know the frustration you feel when your kids don't get along?

When you feel like the bickering and backtalk will never end, and that the jealousy and constant competition are now permanent residents in your home?

The deep-rooted frustration over wishing things looked a little more like this:

The little sister running to hug your oldest when he gets off the school bus. The “look how cute baby brother is!” comments. The quiet playtimes in the other room, interrupted only by their laughter.

While a degree of jealousy and competition and tension is normal, non-stop fighting does not have to be part of your reality.

My siblings courses teach you how to nurture your children’s relationships for a harmonious and respectful household.

Feel like you’re failing at this gig of raising your kids and that nothing you’re doing is working?

You’re not the only one. And you’re right in the sense that, no, the conventional way of “dealing” with siblings arguing simply does not get us far.

When our children fight, our first thought is often “OK, I need to teach them how to get along.” But, with this mindset, we quickly put ourselves in the role of the referee — and we get stuck there.

What we need to realise is that the one main driver of sibling conflicts is TENSION.

But many times, we parents have this pesky habit of actually adding to the tension that we’re so desperately trying to reduce. Completely unintentionally.

When we understand this, we come to understand that our role is not to stop them from arguing but how to avoid adding to the tension in the first place.
