Summary

This episode couldn't have come at a better time. If you are like me and dealing with sibling rivalry between your kids, you are at a loss for what to do. Join today's talk with Michelle of @Peaceandparenting to figure out what causes siblings to be rivals, when to intervene and when to let them figure it out, and tips on how to raise friendly siblings. Find out how to come to parenting through the lens of connection as a way to navigate and unravel sticky parenting situations. Michelle is a mother of two girls as well as a former teacher and counselor turned Certified Parenting Instructor. After years of consequences, bribes, and star charts, she finally reshaped the relationship she shares with her daughters and credits peaceful parenting for changing her life. Michelle considers herself a recovering yeller, perfectionist, and control freak who has found a more calm and connected way to parent. Using the ideas of Brain Science as her guide and working on childhood hurts as her deeper work, she helps other parents do what she has been able to do for herself over the last decade.email: michelle@peaceandparentingla.comwebsite: peaceandparentingla.comInstagram: peaceandparenting ________________________________________________________________Did you love this episode?
