Conflict to Connection: Managing Sibling Rivalry

In episode four of the BratBusters Parenting Podcast, Lisa Bunnage and her daughter Amy dive into the topic of sibling rivalry. The discussion reveals that sibling conflicts often resolve themselves as leadership skills are developed in parents. Lisa addresses questions from listeners about managing interactions between siblings of different ages, dealing with aggressive behaviour, and preventing rough play. The episode offers practical advice, such as using the BratBusters Behaviour Board, consistent supervision, redirection, and encouraging positive interactions. The importance of parental involvement in teaching siblings how to play together and the potential pitfalls of one-on-one time are also covered.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Sibling Rivalry01:54 Listener Question 1: New Baby and Toddler Interactions?05:38 Listener Question 2: One-Year-Old and Three-Year-Old Fighting?08:00 Listener Question 3: Five-Year-Old Playing Too Rough With Little Sister?09:54 Personal Story of Siblings Playing Together14:38 Listener Question 4: Five-Year-Old Gets Angry Very Easy at Younger Siblings?16:23 Thoughts on One-on-One Time18:36 Final Thoughts on Sibling RelationshipsStarting October 19th, 2024, Lisa will be hosting a 6-Week Group Live Q&A Series for members of her signature bootcamp programs.Learn more about the Toddler BratBusters Bootcamp (16-35 Months) Group Live Q&A SeriesLearn more about the BratBusters Bootcamp (Ages 3-12) Group Live Q&A SeriesThank you for joining us!
