What you'll take away.
Written for
Parents exhausted by a child who cannot leave a sibling alone, and by refereeing a fight that never ends.
Provoking a sibling is, more than anything, a bid for a reaction, and the reaction it is really reaching for is usually yours. Your child is not cruel at heart. He is reaching, clumsily but effectively, for attention and for a sense that he matters, through the one lever that never fails him.
This short, warm guide answers it with one clear idea: give him the attention he is reaching for, and stop giving the reaction he is provoking for. Meet the need up front, stay calm when the fuse is lit, and step off the referee's bench that keeps the cycle turning.
With a gentle seven-day plan, ready phrases, and a clear, firm line for the times a child is genuinely being hurt rather than merely annoyed, you can ease the provoking and help your children become, in time, the people they are meant to be to one another.
