296. Sibling Fighting: What's Tolerable, What's Acceptable and What's Our Solutions?
Is sibling fighting driving you up the wall lately? You’re not alone—and this episode is straight from the heart of our community’s requests. In this conversation, we're diving into real-life strategies to help parents navigate sibling conflicts with more confidence and less chaos.
First things first: sibling fighting is normal! In fact, sibling relationships are the training ground for learning how to navigate friendships, handle conflict, and set boundaries. The goal isn’t to eliminate fighting altogether—it’s to help our kids learn from it in healthy ways.
We’re sharing:
- Why zero sibling conflict isn’t a realistic goal.
- How to step out of the referee role and what to do instead.
- Why you shouldn’t automatically side with the younger sibling.
- Tools and scripts that help during transition times like after school.
- Our honest take on using screen time as a sibling conflict tool.
- What to do in the moment when the fighting actually starts.
You’ll walk away with tips that are practical, parent-tested, and rooted in advice from top parenting experts.
If you're a parent looking for real solutions and a little solidarity—you’ll love this episode.
