079: Coaching with Michelle: Sibling Rivalry When One Child Needs More From Us

Dec 7, 2022
44:06

In this coaching call with Michelle, we talk about sibling rivalry issues when peaceful parenting hasn’t always been the method of parenting for both kids AND when one child has more intense needs than the other.

 

Michelle is a mom of two girls, 11 and seven years old. Her younger child, Q, is one of those kids that we call ‘more’ or ‘extra’, and really requires more energy and attention than her older child. What’s interesting is that the problem Michelle thought she had wasn't actually what we ended up working on. Have a listen!

 

We go into:

  • [4:40] Anger in siblings when big emotions come up
  • [8:00] Handling conflict when your kids don’t want to talk about it
  • [17:30] The benefit of showing empathy and speaking kindly
  • [20:15] Helping our kids through name calling and other unkind acts
  • [27:30] Dividing our attention to all kids
  • [32:40] One month check in
