Siblings quarrel; that’s just nature. You can promote a more peaceful household by establishing ‘house’ rules before a problem occurs. When siblings clash, remind them of your agreed ground rules. Sometimes, simply separating children resolves the problem. Whenever possible, try to have a ‘win-win’ so neither child feels defeated.

Lives Changed

The parenting program pushed me to come to terms with my own abilities and willingness to change because I wanted to for myself and I needed to as support for my girlfriend.

And we want to help more: to help parents understand healthy child development; to help children do well in school; to give families the opportunity to live in safe and stable neighborhoods where they will grow and prosper.
