How do I deal with sibling rivalry?

Sibling rivalry is natural and needs thoughtful management to help children build healthy relationships. Here are effective ways to handle it:

  • Stay calm and model good behavior.
  • Teach your child how to express feelings appropriately and resolve conflicts calmly.
  • Avoid favoritism and treat all children fairly.
  • Give each child dedicated time to meet their individual needs. 
  • Praise and encourage positive behavior when they play cooperatively or show empathy toward each other.
