Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments

Case Study: Why Punishment Makes Sibling Aggression Worse


Listen Later

How can parents navigate the chaos when sibling rivalry turns into a hair-pulling standoff? What if sibling rivalry wasn't just a battle between your kids but an opportunity to deepen your connection with them? In today’s episode, we dive into the dynamics of sibling relationships and discuss how shifting your perspective can bring peace to your parenting journey.


I’m joined by Shannon, a mother of two from Canada, who shares her experience with sibling rivalry. We unravel the complexities of these interactions and explore how our own responses, often shaped by past influences, can either quell or perpetuate conflict. Listen in as we discuss the pivotal role of empathy in navigating these challenging moments and how prioritizing connection over correction can foster a harmonious environment.

  • Approaching sibling fights with neutrality
  • Viewing aggression as a sign of fear
