Siblings without rivalry: How to help your children live together so you can live too

Faber Adel / Mazlis Elaine

"It is mine!" "No, mine!" "She pushed me!" ... "Not that I touched her!" "You gave him more than you gave me!" Award-winning authors Adel Feiber and Elaine Mazlis refuse to accept the widespread view that the inevitable price of having more than one child is incessant quarrels and quarrels. Drawing on their personal experiences as well as the essence of the hundreds of experiential workshops they have organized throughout the United States, the authors have devised simple yet impressively effective approaches to reduce conflict and cultivate a positive and good-natured attitude among siblings. Each skill is brilliantly described through thoughts and true stories told by real people. Live dialogues and enjoyable sketches show you: - how to help children express their feelings without hurting each other - how to treat each child differently and yet be fair at the same time - how to promote cooperation instead of competition - how to help both the "perpetrator" and the "victim" - how to reduce anger and stimulate siblings to think of their own solutions instead of arguing Updated and updated, "Brothers, Not Rivals" offers truly original ideas and thoughts on fraternal relationships and shows us how we can incorporate these ideas into our daily lives.
