Siblings Without Rivalry - Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish - Book Summary
Allow your kids to feel and openly discuss their emotions toward their sibling - even if they are negative and it’s hard for you to hear
Don’t compare between siblings - if one asks to get another cookie the same as the sibling - talk about his needs regardless: “are you hungry? Do you want another cookie?”
Don’t assign roles to your kids (e.g. “smart“, “artistic”, and even “big brother”, “baby”)
Allow your kids to solve their problems on their own as much as possible (as long as no one gets hurt).
Buy presents and clothings to each child according to their needs and not to match with their siblings.
