Sustainable Parenting | Raising Confident Kids with Positive Parenting Strategies

96. Siblings Fighting Over Fairness


Listen Later

Do your kids constantly argue over toys or who gets more of your attention? You’re not alone — most sibling fights are about possessions or competing for a parent’s time, and they can leave you feeling drained. In this short episode of the Sustainable Parenting weekly podcast, we’re diving into why fairness triggers so much conflict and how to create more peace at home using gentle parenting and positive parenting strategies.

Instead of just trying to make everything “equal,” we’ll talk about how to address the deeper feelings behind sibling rivalry. You’ll learn how gentle discipline and kind and firm parenting can strengthen the parent-child connection, reduce anxiety & emotions, and guide your kids toward more cooperation and empathy.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll know:

• Why solving the feeling — not just the fairness — matters when addressing sibling rivalry

• Practical parenting tips & tools for how to get kids to listen and work together

• How to use calm parenting tips to redirect fights and stop power struggles with kids

• Insights from experts like Siblings Without Rivalry to help with raising confident kids

✨ If you’re ready to bring more peace, cooperation, and connection into your home, this episode offers practical steps for sustainable parenting that work — even during tense sibling moments.
