Handling Sibling Fighting Without Losing Your Mind
Manage episode 480268287 series 3615385
Sibling fights are normal — but that doesn’t mean they don’t drive us a little wild. In this episode of Clear & On Purpose, I’m sharing how I navigate sibling conflict in our home without turning into a full-time referee.
You’ll hear the real-life strategies I use to support my kids in building a healthier relationship with each other, even when tensions run high. From letting go of “fairness” to staying out of the he-said-she-said trap, I’ll walk you through mindset shifts and practical tools that can shift sibling dynamics in a powerful way.
We’ll talk about:
- What to do (and what not to do) when your kids are fighting
- How to set clear expectations without taking sides
- The power of “sportscasting” and validation
- Why I don’t aim for fairness — and what I focus on instead
- How meeting baseline needs impacts sibling behavior
- What it means to hold the emotional frequency of your household
If you're a parent who’s tired of breaking up constant bickering, this one’s for you. These tips are simple, gentle, and rooted in connection — not control.
