8. How Do I Handle Sibling Rivalry? (Part 2)

Last week on “When God Breaks Through”, we talked about changing our mindset in the midst of sibling rivalries.   This week, Bethany is talking about how we approach our child in the situation. When it comes to these moments, we have to think about what our long term goals are for  them, despite the upclose mess of whatever fight or squabble is happening today!  Sometimes the best thing to do is for everyone to take a step back and spend some time in reflection. This allows the child to examine their hearts and the true emotions behind their actions. This also allows us moms to prepare our hearts for how God would have us respond in the moment.  When we enter into these moments, we want to approach it with grace and humility. Our goal is not to bust the kid in that moment, but to help them examine their heart. Through careful conversation, we can guide them through the true emotions and feelings, how what they did would be viewed by God, and how they can use this situation to recognize their sinful nature. And even better, God’s love and grace for them despite that sinful nature.   Head over to  https://bethanykimsey.com to share with Bethany the tips and tricks you’ve learned in sibling rivalries!
