How to Prevent Sibling Rivalry
Every house that has siblings has experienced squabbles between siblings. Sibling rivalry is almost always inevitable but there are ways to be able to manage it better. Below are just some of them.
- Try to include everyone in all of your family activities but at the same time do not forget to spend solo time with each child.
- Give them opportunities to work together instead of competing with each other.
- Avoid praising a child. Instead encourage them by focusing on the process rather than the result.
- Do not get in the middle of squabbles by letting them work out things for themselves.
- Acknowledge each child’s feelings.
