Is your child kind, patient, and thoughtful with other kids… but seems to have no patience for their own sibling? Maybe they roll their eyes, refuse to include them, or act annoyed whenever their sibling is around.

In this episode, you'll hear: • What's under the negativity that siblings have for each other • How well-intentioned encouragement to get along can actually make the relationship worse • What you can do to create more opportunities for sibling closeness without forcing it
