Summary

Today we are so excited to have Jess from @nurturedfirst (formerly Our Mama Village) back on the show. Jess is a registered psychotherapist who shares her expertise on all things sibling relationships. This is an episode we wish we had before we had multiple children!

Navigating sibling conflicts can be exhausting. As parents we are trying to help our children thrive as individuals but we also want to foster the relationships they are developing with their brothers or sisters. Jess helps us by providing things we can do or say as parents to support these healthy relationships among our kids.

We love hearing what you as listeners are pulling from these episodes. Tag @ourmamavillage and @herselfpodcast and share something you learned from this episode.

Update March 2023: Our Mama Village is now Nurtured First! Check Jess out on Instagram @nurturedfirst, and check out her new website here: nurturedfirst.com. Together, let's create a generation of children, parents, and caregivers who are nurtured first.

0:00.0	Another reason we'll see those sibling fights kind of pop up is looking for a break.
0:06.9	And so sometimes kids do get just like we get overstimulated by them. They get overstimulated by each
0:12.1	other and a lot of parents, if they're sending their kids to timeouts or if your strategy is like
0:18.3	I see that you guys need a break from each other. Sometimes they instead of just saying I need a
0:23.2	break and recognizing that because they don't have that self-awareness yet, they may start to have
0:28.0	these fights knowing that the outcome of that is having a break.
0:36.3	I'm Amy and I'm Abby and as women we are constantly comparing ourselves to others
0:43.3	but your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best self means standing firm in
0:48.7	your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real with
0:54.4	an honest look into the challenges and triumphs we all face. Every woman listening is the
1:00.0	opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself. Today we're so excited to have Jess on
1:10.0	from our mama village. If you remember back to episode 102 she came on and she talked all about
1:16.0	discipline and finding your calm and parenting but today we took a completely different angle.
1:23.2	If you remember she's a registered psychotherapist and today we took a deep dive into sibling
1:29.2	relationships. I'm telling you I wish I would have had this episode before I had multiple children.
1:36.6	You know what I really got out of it is not treating everyone the exact same and I think that as
1:41.2	parents we grow as parents we grow as mothers and then also our children are growing and changing
1:46.3	and they're not the same person. So sometimes a strategy might work but sometimes we're going to have
1:51.8	to try something new and she just gives so much encouragement and support to navigate those waters
1:56.4	as they come. So without further ado let's get started with Jess. Today we're getting into the
2:03.6	challenges of parenting siblings and all three of us here we each have three kids and Amy and I know
