Ep. 86: From Comparison to Connection: Parenting Siblings Who Are Very Different

from The Art of Playful Parenting

Parenting more than one child quickly shows just how different kids can be. In this episode, Jill explores what it looks like to raise children with different needs, routines, personalities, and play styles, and why it can feel so challenging. She shares from her own experience navigating these differences with her daughters, and unpacks our natural tendency to compare, why some dynamics feel easier than others, and how to shift toward deeper understanding and connection. You'll walk away with a more grounded perspective and simple, practical ways to support each child as their own unique person while strengthening your relationship with them and with each other.
