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
