Summary

We've already talked about sibling rivalry (see episode 24) but today we talk about teenagers' relationships with siblings in general. How can parents cultivate good relationships between their children? What are ways that parents inadvertently discourage mature relationships between siblings? And, as always, what are some particular aspects of the adolescent phase of development that make this hard? Are there aspects of adolescence that parents can use to their advantage in helping sibling relationships?

0:00.0	You are listening to Feeding the Mouth That Bites You with Ashley Parrish and Jessica Pfeiffer.
0:05.4	A weekly podcast guide on parenting teens and launching them into the world. As always, we are joined by psychologist and author, Dr. Ken Wilgus.
0:14.6	Hey, everyone, and welcome back on today's episode. We'll be discussing teens and siblings.
0:21.6	So we did record a podcast episode a few years back. It was episode 24. That's what I thought.
0:29.2	Mm-hmm. So long ago. Well, and you know what? Well, it was called Stop Fighting Teenagers and
0:34.9	Sibling Conflict. Go back and listen to that one.
0:39.1	It is actually really good.
0:42.0	I just relisten to it and thought, man,
0:43.6	why should take some of this to heart again?
0:47.3	But interestingly, it was at the beginning of the pandemic.
0:50.7	I think it was around May of 2020. And we were all in quarantine.

1:16.9	sibling conflict. So I'm glad we're going to get to re-address some of these issues and cover some new
1:22.9	ones. Yeah, more than just the conflict part because, you know, it's an important, but I was reminded
1:27.6	I was doing a conference this last weekend and with parents. And, you know, it's just a whole
