This episode of Safe Space Radio features author and professor Dr. Vernon Wiehe. He talks about sibling abuse and how it differs from sibling rivalry in a pattern of frequent victimization of one sibling at the hands of another. Dr. Wiehe points out that sibling abuse is even more common that domestic violence or child abuse, but is often minimized by parents. He describes ways to prevent it, such as not leaving younger children alone in the care of their older siblings if younger siblings don’t feel safe, talking to children openly about violence and sexuality, setting boundaries, listening to children and believing them.
