Part 1: Start here, why siblings fight and what is yours to fix

If your children fight, you are in good company. Siblings share the same parents, the same house and the same toys, and they did not choose each other. Some squabbling is normal and even useful: it is how children practice standing up for themselves, trading and making up. The goal of this guide is not a house with no fights. It is a house where fights are shorter, safer and fairer, and where you are not worn out by them.

This guide is for parents of children ages 3 to 12. It is general parenting information, not medical or mental health advice.

  3. Part 3: the calm plan: house rules, a reset space, fair-share tools and a family meeting.
  4. Part 4: the hard cases: big age gaps, one child who always seems to start it, jealousy of a new baby, and when to get help.
