25 分钟The universal moment.
Both of your kids want the same toy and they both insist that they had it first.
What do we do?
And what happens when these arguments and these moments of bickering actually go on over and over about every small thing that could be a comparison,
that could be a competition?
Your kids find ways to compete about things that shouldn't ever be a competition.
If this is what it feels like sometimes in your house, you are not alone.
Sibling rivalry is normal.
Sibling rivalry is actually healthy in a lot of ways.
And sibling rivalry is never actually about the toy or the seat in the car.
Sibling rivalry is often about insecurity, about connection, about attachment,
about confidence, about figuring out your place in the overall family system.
In today's episode, we're going to talk about what's really underneath sibling rivalry.
When your kids are arguing about the toy that they haven't played with for a year and only care about now that their sibling has it,
what's really happening when your kids whine, it's not fair.
And you're gonna end today's episode with a much more nuanced understanding of these moments and with a feeling of empowerment and hope
because you're going to have a better sense of what to do when these moments arise.
