Sibling Rivalry

Claire and Becks have different experiences of sibling rivalry, but whatever your experience, there is no doubt that there is an element of it in every family where there is more than one child!  In this episode we chat through the different aspects of this, including: 

  • How sibling rivalry is a completely natural part of child development that can start at different ages and stages. 
  • Why it’s important to remember to look at the situation from all of the children’s perspectives and how to make a plan from this! 
  • The benefits of having a sibling (and a bit of rivalry!)  
  • Meeting (all of) your children’s needs – how to do this (spoiler alert – sometimes you can’t!). 
  • Carving out individual time with each of your children - how and why? 
  • And finally, when (and when not to) step in!

Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting!

Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here!
