- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a very readable book on parenting and sibling relationships. Many times, I read through parenting books very slowly trying to capture the thoughts, but this one was so well written and organized, that I read through it quickly. I especially like the Quick Reminders that give a brief summary of the topics in each chapter and the cartoons that illustrate the wrong way and the right way to handle sibling stresses. This will be a valuable and handy reference.Topics covered include:- Acknowledging feelings about each other- Resisting comparison of siblings- Treat children uniquely- Don't lock a child into a role- No more problem children- Handling fighting

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like in other books by the authors the many quotes and specific examples of how to talk to kids are helpful.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So helpful to a plethora of situations. Clear cut suggestions for you to implement into your own home.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The examples are very real, exactly as it can happen in any home. Putting the tips to work, it works perfectly for us! Together with “How to talk...” - best parenting books I have read and the only ones I keep on using. Also love the pictures and summaries. Big thanks to the authors.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I like the Positive Discipline series in general and this book in particular is full of useful examples, tips and reminders to help prevent all-out sibling war.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a very readable book, with the approach of finding good solutions to sibling problems, and helping children learn to get along without parental interference, wherever possible. The first chapter is introductory, giving examples of the kinds of problems many parents experience: children fighting, putting each other down, and so on. The rest of the book helps parents to see when it?s appropriate to get involved, and how to see issues from a child's point of view.While none of the material was new to me (I first read this over twenty years ago), it was a useful reminder about parents? and other adults' roles in helping children learn to deal with problems that arise. The book is so readable, and so interesting that I read the whole thing, including the supplementary chapters to the 10th anniversary edition, in just a few hours. The ideas won't necessarily work first time, but are well worth considering if one's current approach is not having any success. I recommend this book highly to any adult dealing with children who can?t get along at all, or who are worn down with children fighting.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book challenges the idea that constant, unpleasant conflict is natural and unavoidable, and in action-oriented, easy to understand anecdotes and stories shows the many ways you can teach your children how to get alone.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book has taught me so much about family dynamics and the roles we put on each other. It even had me re-inspecting my role in my family growing up. It is an easy read, and I have picked it up every 6-9 months and re-read portions of it and learn something new each time. I think it takes a while to learn the skills they recommend to help you learn to manage your children to help them learn to manage their relationships. It is a phenomenal parenting tool. I can't recommend it enough!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Not a very good book, didn't help much, they're immature people living in the same house, quarreling over limited resources...gotta live with that.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So helpful, must read even for those who do not have children but have siblings!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Indispensible for anyone with more than one child.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sometimes it is good for a parent to have common sense laid out so plainly before them.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An excellent practical guide to negotiating your family through disputes in a respectful and thoughtful manner. Great examples illustrate the techniques and encourage creativity in problem solving. Pushes the negotiations back on the siblings, leaving parents free to arbitrate in more serious matters and equipping siblings with a great toolkit for the future.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is life-changing for me. It not only is invaluable with how to deal with my children, but also applies to children in my classroom as well. It is beautifully and brilliantly written from beginning to end-Full of wonderful quotes and poetic imagery. I can’t thank our pediatrician enough for recommending this book. I can’t wait to listen to anything else available by these authors.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just what I needed to create a strategy for my own 4 young kids. Very practical. Loved it!
