INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

“It’s mine!” “No, it’s mine!” “He pushed me!”... “I didn’t even touch her!” “You gave him more than you gave me!” Award-winning authors Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish refuse to accept the widely held belief that the inevitable price of having more than one child is the never-ending fighting and bickering.

Drawing from their personal experiences as well as the distilled essence of hundreds of hands-on workshops they have conducted across the U.S., the authors have designed simple yet remarkably effective approaches aimed at reducing conflicts and fostering a positive atmosphere and goodwill among siblings.

Each skill is vividly described through thoughts and true stories recounted by real people. Lively dialogues and enjoyable sketches show you:

  • how to help children express their feelings without hurting each other
  • how to treat each child differently while still being fair
  • how to promote cooperation instead of competition
  • how to support both the “bully” and the “victim”
  • how to reduce anger and encourage siblings to think of their own solutions instead of arguing

Renewed and updated, “Siblings, Not Rivals” offers truly original ideas and thoughts on sibling relationships and shows us how we can incorporate these ideas into our daily lives.

This book is for you if...

  • You have two or more children and the fights never end.
  • You feel like you are a referee in your own home.
  • You want to help your children express their feelings without hurting each other.
  • You are afraid that comparison and jealousy will drive them apart in the future.

What will this book offer you?

A practical guide filled with techniques and real-life examples to help you support your children in managing conflicts, boosting their self-esteem, and strengthening their connection with each other. It won't tell you how to completely stop arguments – but how to turn tensions into opportunities for communication and empathy.

Inside the book you will find:

  • What triggers jealousy and competition between siblings
  • How to give equal attention without comparing or blaming
  • Dialogues and techniques you can apply immediately
  • How to build a personal relationship with each child, without being manipulated by them
  • Sections with exercises, real-life cases, and humor

The opinion of the experts

“One of the most effective guides for life with multiple children. Not theory – but essential tools for the home.”
– Dr. Laura Markham, psychologist & author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings
“Faber & Mazlish remind us that the relationship between siblings is not a given – but it can become invaluable if we nurture it.”
– Positive Discipline Institute

Read an excerpt

“When we try to be ‘fair’ with equal quantities and portions, what matters to the child is not the amount – but whether they feel loved for who they are.”
“Siblings will clash. The point is not to avoid it, but to teach them how to handle it with respect and honesty.”

Review this product
  • It should be given as a gift to parents after having a second or more children. Truly, parents' lives would become much easier. And the lives of the children themselves, growing up, would be more meaningful and enjoyable with their siblings.

    Did you find this review helpful?
  • If you have 2+ kids, get it immediately! It explains incredible things to you, why the kids fight, how to manage better, and you understand why they have this reaction, with their parents and among themselves. Many examples from other parents, problems and how they solved them, sketches, etc. I'll say one thing. I wish my parents had read it..

    Original book that presents advice for sibling relationships and how parents handle the problems that arise. The only observation is that it refers to older children who can understand basic instructions and not to infants, for example.
