Sibling Love – Sibling Rivalry

Sibling Love – Sibling Rivalry

Sibling rivalry will always be with us because we are human. But getting our kids to love each other in a gentle, unconditional way despite disagreements takes gentle intentional parenting.
4 useful tips
1. Help them become friends before birth. Create imaginary stories about what life will be like with their new sibling. Involve them in the nesting process. Let them have conversations with the bump.
2. Make the older sibling feel important. Don’t let all the attention be just on the new baby. Incorporate the older sibling in the receiving of gifts by getting him/her to help unwrap the new babies gifts.
