Emphasizing Connection Over Discipline

Connection is crucial in reducing sibling rivalry and fostering healthy relationships among children. Prioritizing quality one-on-one time with each child can significantly enhance emotional bonds, leading to better conflict resolution. Engaging in empathetic conversations helps children feel understood, enabling them to manage their relationships more effectively. When parents create an environment centered around connection, it also strengthens the children’s ability to navigate future conflicts independently.
