If you have more than one child, chances are good to excellent that you’ve had to referee sibling fighting and rivalry. The fact is, even the best sibling relationships can have their moments of conflict and friction. In this workshop, our Expert Parent Practitioner will be discussing strategies and shedding light on the insights to achieve sibling harmony.  Once children learn how to work through their differences, this very important family bond can flourish and grow strong. When a good sibling bond is established early, and children are taught how to manage conflict with their brother or sister, fighting and rivalry can be greatly minimized.
