Promoting Sibling Harmony
Promoting Sibling Harmony
Do your children bicker, argue or fight? Do they come to you complaining about each other or telling tales? Parents can find it very upsetting to witness their child being cruel to his/her sibling and get tired of the endless quibbling and niggling and the noise. This webinar will give you practical skills to help your children be more tolerant and considerate of each other and resolve arguments successfully.
I will show you how much can be done to make it easier for your children to like each other. We will look at the causes of the rivalry and teach you many practical, well-tried solutions to help reduce the fighting and create a more harmonious environment. We will also look at effective ways to intervene without appointing yourself judge and to help the children resolve their own disputes. This webinar covers conflict resolution skills that will equip them for life.
