How to Keep Kids from Fighting
Today’s podcast is taken almost word for word from two posts I published on my family blog, listed above (Stop Sibling Squabbles in 5 Simple Steps and Help! My Kids Won’t Stop Fighting!) So if you’d rather read than listen, just click through the given links.
With a little patience, practice, pruning, and lots and lots of prayer, I’m convinced you will see a marked improvement in the relationships between your children, just as I have.
Do you have any recommendations for books that the children can read that has positive sibling relationships?
I agree that what they watch and read tends to have “worldly” thoughts on siblings relationship. And thought it would be nice for them to have books that foster that desire
Thank you.
Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, the Penderwicks series by Jeanne Birdsall, Little Britches books by Ralph Moody, and the Vanderbeekers series by Karina Yan Glaser are the ones that immediately spring to mind.
