Parenting expert Gen Muir: this hack will stop 90% of sibling fights


Listen Later

Parent educator and mother of four boys Gen Muir returns with a counterintuitive approach to sibling rivalry, and some desperately needed strategies to get to the root cause of sibling fights. Gen offers a refreshing perspective on why conflicts between siblings occur and what they're really about (hint: it's often not what parents think!)

Her approach helps parents understand when to step in, when to step back, and how to transform these challenging moments into opportunities for growth. The reassuring takeaway? We only need to get parenting right 30% of the time to raise emotionally healthy children.
