Parents Have a Significant Role in Minimizing Sibling Conflict & Enhancing Relationship Quality
Individuals with close sibling relationships are more emotionally mature, happier, have positive psychological well-being, and have closer friendships. On the other hand, aggressive sibling dynamics in childhood can not only lead to harmful life-long negative consequences, but can also deprive children of a potential life-long companion. Additionally, parents often report that sibling fighting is one of their main concerns and leads to turmoil throughout the family system.
This webinar examines the role that parents play in minimizing sibling conflict and enhancing sibling relationship quality. Using theoretical perspectives, a wealth of empirical data, testing instruments, and clinical experience, participants will experience a thorough examination of these issues and leave with tools and techniques to implement immediately in practice with families.
