    Sibling Rivalries Are Teachable Moments. 5 lessons learned from fighting.

    I have three daughters, ages 8, 6 and 4. It’s a constant girl quarrel in the house. We deal with sibling rivalries daily. They fight over everything. They argue over who gets the remote, who sits in the second row compared to the third row of the car and who gets the pink plate at dinner time. There is nothing different about that plate, but the color. 🤦‍♀️

    Five minutes later, you will hear, “Get out of my room, stop looking at me and she touched me!” I have learned to tune them out most of the time, but when it gets out of hand and a little too noisy, I will step in. I ask the kids, “Do you want me to handle it?” They yell out, “NO!”, because they know if I step in, tv goes off, everybody sits in the third row and no one gets the pink plate.
