The Great Sibling Rivalry Volume 1

When William and Emily Smith had their third child, they were quite happy that, after their first two children were both boys, they finally had a little girl of their own.At first, both of their sons;William and Andrew, embraced their baby sister, but soon Andrew started getting jealous of the baby because she started getting all the attention from aunts, uncles, cousins and anyone outside the family, really, that used to be reserved for him.This started Andrew and baby Carol Anne on the road to "The Great Sibling Rivalry", as they kept bickering especially once Carol Anne started being able to crawl around and get into Andrew's things, the two little siblings acting just like the typical brother-sister sibling rivals

The #1 New York Times best-selling guide to reducing hostility and generating goodwill between siblings. Already best-selling authors with How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish turned their minds to the battle of the siblings. Parents themselves, they were determined to figure out how to help their children get along. The result was Siblings Without Rivalry. This wise, groundbreaking book gives parents the practical tools they need to cope with conflict, encourage cooperation, reduce competition, and make it possible for children to experience the joys of their special relationship. With humor and understanding—much gained from raising their own children—Faber and Mazlish explain how and when to intervene in fights, provide suggestions on how to help children channel their hostility into creative outlets, and demonstrate how to treat children unequally and still be fair. Updated to incorporate fresh thoughts after years of conducting workshops for parents and professionals, this edition also includes a new afterword.

Full of humour and compassion, SIBLINGS WITHOUT RIVALRY challenges the idea that constant conflict between siblings is natural and unavoidable.

Now that little Carol Anne Smith is going from a baby to a toddler, she is growing by leaps and bounds and with her abilities growing and being fine-tuned that also means that her sibling rivalry with her big brother; Andrew is also growing and reaching new heights, as Carol Anne learns to defend herself and fight back and give as good as she gets. It then, therefore, begs the question: Will there ever be hope for a sibling truce, before Carol Anne's second birthday in July 2016 or will both little siblings just keep on fighting as their rivalry escalates to new, dizzying height

For most of us, dreams of family harmony and cooperation often give way to the reality of squabbling and fighting between siblings. In Keep the Siblings, Lose the Rivalry, Dr. Todd Cartmell explodes the myth that parents must sit passively by while sibling conflict runs rampant. Based on solid biblical principles and sibling research, Cartmell provides a ten-step plan that will help you enrich your family soil, plant the seeds of sibling relational skills, and provide an environment that will encourage respectful sibling relationships. Cartmell includes fifteen "ready-to-use" Family Time Discussion Guides and creates powerful object lessons using common household objects such as stinky socks, post-it notes, tennis balls, and tasty treats. With role-plays, Scripture references, and interactive discussion questions, each Family Time Discussion Guide will bring you closer together as a family and improve your children's skills at handling sibling conflict in a respectful way. Practical, down-to-earth, and leavened with Cartmell's dry humor, Keep the Siblings, Lose the Rivalry will equip you to handle the most difficult sibling challenges.

As their family grows, with the birth of their daughter; Elizabeth, son; Oliver and their twin daughters; Candace and Carol Anne, so do their traditions, adding new ones along the way; ones that they'll cherish until the end of time.
