Summary

We all want our kids to have strong sibling relationships, but often anxiety and OCD can get in the way. Siblings might feel targeted by the child with anxiety or OCD. They might be on the receiving end of aggression or they might just feel sidelined by how much attention their sibling requires.

Just like with anxiety and OCD, we have our role to play when it comes to facilitating strong sibling bonds. Learning what our role and what it isn’t, is so important!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talked to Corinna Jenkins Tucker, PhD, CFLE. She is the Director of the Sibling Aggression and Abuse Research and Advocacy Initiative (SAARA) at the Crimes against Children Research Center and Professor Emerita, Human Development and Family Studies, at the University of New Hampshire.

Her primary research interests include sibling relationships, parenting, and mental health. She has a particular interest in sibling aggression and abuse experiences across the lifespan. Dr. Tucker has conducted research and published extensively on sibling relationships for over 25 years.

0:00.0	Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the chaos of
0:08.9	parenting a child with anxiety or OCD. This show is for educational purposes and is not intended to
0:15.4	replace the guidance of a qualified professional. Here's your host, child therapist, Natasha Daniels. Well, hello there,
0:23.1	and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. Today we're going to be
0:28.2	talking about how to improve sibling relationships despite anxiety and OCD. And I say despite
0:33.9	because sometimes anxiety in OCD makes it even harder for our kids to get along
0:40.0	and develop a solid relationship. We're going to be talking about what to do when our kids
0:46.1	are aggressive, what to do when our kids are struggling, when we're not focusing on them,
0:53.4	or they feel like we're not focusing on them.
0:55.8	And just how to strengthen sibling relationships in general, even regardless of anxiety and
1:01.5	OCD. Like any other relationships, sibling relationships need to be worked on. They need to be

1:11.8	have their role to do. And sometimes we overstep and we get in the lane of our kids and
1:17.4	sometimes we don't get in the lane in our own lane and do the things that maybe we can do
1:23.7	to facilitate a better relationship. And so I have invited Dr. Karina Tucker onto the show.
1:31.4	She is the director of the Sibling Aggression and Abuse Research and Advocacy Initiative,
1:36.6	known as Sarah, and that is located at the Crimes Against Children's Research Center. She's a professor
