For Sibling Battles, Be a Sportscaster, Not a Referee
Narrate what’s happening. Repeat back what your kids say to you. Try to be neutral.
|
"It’s our job to let kids know we see and hear them, but we’re not necessarily going to solve siblings’ conflicts for them (or else they never get the practice). When squabbles start, imagine you’re a sportscaster and describe what you see in front of you, without judgment and without taking sides."
