Siblings

Having more than one child can present it’s own set of new and possibly difficult parenting struggles. Sibling rivalry, different personalities, different parenting techniques that work with one but not the other, and many more.

The important thing to remember about siblings is to be fair.

Being fair doesn’t necessarily mean doing the exact same thing for each child. It simply means that if a child is inappropriate, they get a consequence, if there is fighting don’t take sides just mediate, if they do well, they get a reward.

Having the same follow through with each child, without favoring one, will create a much less stressful environment with healthier children and appropriate boundaries.
