The Parenting Horizons Podcast

Mature, rational conflict resolution isn't in vogue much these days (have you seen an episode of "Real Housewives" lately?) 

When siblings fight, parents are tempted to either bury their heads in the sand and try to ignore it, or to play judge, jury and executioner, usually meting out arbitrary punishment to whomever they think is the "guilty" party. 

But what if there was a third way? The truth is, sibling arguments give parents a unique opportunity to role model ways to address conflict in healthy, constructive ways. 

In this episode we examine how to teach our children how to handle conflict in an effective and healthy way and leave the drama out of it.
