How to handle sibling rivalry to create lifelong loving bonds

Written by a clinical psychologist, Siblings give parents the tools to create positive sibling relationships. Highly practical, and based solidly in clinical research, it not only describes the issues which parents may face but gives them methods and specific strategies to build lasting bonds


Siblings – your guide to positive parenting and how to
handle sibling rivalry and jealousy. Here is the essential parenting book which
will guide you to calmer, easier, happier parenting and help you raise siblings
without rivalry.


Clinical psychologist Linda Blair takes a
positive approach to this subject – instead of trying to eliminate the natural
rivalry that occurs or striving for an unrealistic idyll of a calm,
non-confrontational household, she teaches parents how to use sibling
interactions to build emotional intelligence and good social skills. Through a
framework of core principles, Linda guides you through potential issues towards
parenting without power struggles and raising happy children.

  • Manage the
    powerful effect of the age gap and birth order

    disagreements and stop arguments

  • Alleviate
    competition and jealousy

  • Encourage
    communication and cooperation

Siblings turns sibling rivalry on its head offering parents a

rivalry to create lifelong loving bonds.
