The Resolving Sibling Rivalry Book: Many Mini Life Changes (Resolving Books Series) - Softcover

Siblings squabble all the time. Sibling rivalry goes hand in hand with sibling love and, for parents, can be extremely wearing and confusing. This book tells the story from both sides and demonstrates strategies that families can use to turn sibling squabbles into healthy sibling negotiations. This story is about a brother and sister whose everyday niggles and rows, typical of those between brothers and sisters, eventually drive their friends and mum mad. It all comes to a head and they have to find another way of sorting out their differences. At the end of the story they are happier, and so is their mum! ABOUT THE SERIES The books in the Resolving Series are simple, straightforward, but very clever tools. They work to help children realise how the characters in the books reflect their own situation. They explain why they are in the situation and aid them in working out ways of resolving the problems, normally with the help of their parents, teachers, guardians, counselors and friends. The books also have a very useful toolbox section to help the child/children understand, practice and express their problem and themselves.
