Sibling Showdowns: Understanding and Managing Rivalry

What this episode covers

Welcome to Season 2 of Raising Me! Sibling rivalry is a challenge nearly every parent faces. It’s the stuff that can turn a peaceful home into a battlefield, leaving parents feeling stressed and frustrated. Whether it's fighting over the last cookie, the TV remote, or just who gets the most attention, sibling rivalry can test even the most patient among us. But here’s the good news: you’re not alone, and sibling rivalry isn’t all bad. In fact, these conflicts can offer valuable opportunities for children to learn essential life skills. Together, we’ll explore what drives sibling rivalry, how to navigate those difficult moments, and how to turn conflicts into positive learning experiences. EPISODE EXPERT: Rebecca Hoffman joins us for this episode. She’s a seasoned family therapist and Director of the MaineHealth Center for Trauma, Resilience, and Innovation.
