How To Help Siblings Stop Fighting All the Time

Do you feel like your kids are fighting all the time? They might be bickering, crying, or yelling, and you might feel exasperated and wonder how to turn things around. Conflicts will always be part of family relationships, but you can learn how to help kids stop fighting all the time and bring a richer connection to your family.

In today’s conversation, Katie Johnson (Connected Families Certified Parent Coach) and Stacy Bellward (podcast host) give you a taste of Connected Families’ online course: Sibling Conflict: From Bickering to Bonding. They unpack a tool from the course called “The Peace Process” and give examples of how you could use it with your kids today.

In this podcast, you’ll discover:

• how to help your kids move from “Crazy Mountain” to true reconciliation when conflicts arise
• practical ideas to help your kids calm down before taking steps to resolve a situation
• how to stop siblings fighting all the time by building their understanding and value for one another
• ways to empower your kids to “make it right” with their own ideas
• the importance of celebrating when a conflict is resolved
