In their book “Siblings Without Rivalry”, Faber and Mazlish have done it again. They give parent’s the best skills out there to handle one of the toughest problems of parenting, sibling rivalry, as you might have guessed from the name of the book.
I have read many books on this topic and none have come close to this one. The authors discuss the reasons behind sibling rivalry and simple ways to help you manage it. Parents can learn how to accept kids feelings and help kids express their angry feelings about their siblings. New ideas on how to treat kids uniquely instead of equally and motivating kids to solve their own problems are explored.
The authors constructed the book so that parents feel as if they are a part of an actual parenting workshop. Each chapter begins with information on helping parents understand the feelings and the philosophy behind common sibling problems. Then the frustrated “workshop parents” honestly reveal their worst problems and fears. They ask questions that most parents would like to ask and they work out solutions that make sense.
The mood of the book is warm and fun. Seems pretty admirable when you consider the topic is sibling rivalry.
Did I mention that Faber and Mazlish use comics to illustrate the skills that they teach? It doesn’t get better than that.
