Thank you Toria!
I haven’t spoken to my friend about her reactions, it’s SUCH a tricky one to bring up when it’s a friend and it’s not something that they have recognised in themselves. I would hate her think that I have been analysing/ judging her interactions with her kids and although she will often ask for my thoughts on things, I am careful…[Read more]

Hi Jenni,
I think you’re probably right that your friend’s anxiety levels might be linked, that would have been my first thought too. I’m guessing that you’ve already talked to her about some ways to centre herself before connecting with the kids.
Like you said, it’s not really surprising that her 5 year is having these tics. What a year it h…[Read more]

Tina Wallace replied to the topic Sibling troubles in the forum General forum for peaceful parenting related questions and discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
I’m not sure what help I can be. This is one of my main issues if not my main. My oldest is almost 9 and she was an only child for around 4 years. Then shockingly (they were all a shock) I was pregnant again. I was so worried about the sibling issues and my oldest possibly thinking I loved her any less. It was ok until my 2nd daughter was about 2…[Read more]

Yea, it really is easier said then done! I think staying calm when our kids are hurting each other must be one of the biggest challenges of parenting. And the fact that we are trying to do that is pretty spectacular in itself. Most parents have no concept of trying to understand the perspective of the one that is doing the hurting.
Sounds like…[Read more] -

Thanks for the reply Becky!
I love all your suggestions however my son actually never wants to talk about his *feelings *. Even when we are super connected and it’s a calm moment I’ll bring up something like “I saw earlier today you were really angry at marcus ” and he will just ignore it and start acting silly or ignore me and talk about…[Read more]

Hi Ioulia.
Just sending you some empathy. We have had such a hard time in the past year or so with our older sibling hurting the younger one. It is just soooo hard. It has definitely been the hardest thing for us in parenting. Doing it in lockdown, mostly on your own must be just so overwhelming. I think you are amazing!
I have had to work…[Read more] -

Hello,
I’d love some feedback on approaching sibling troubles when you have limited support yourself.
I can see my 3.5 year old being very pushy and boarder aggressive with his 2 yr old brother constantly for the last 2 weeks or so. I know he cries more 1:1 time but I’m doing the best I can with no support during covid so every time 10min is all…[Read more]
