Dr. Caspi explains how to quell sibling struggles without taking sides, ways to make kids feel valued without comparing them, when to intervene (and when to step back), how to handle parenting-related couple conflicts, and ways to teach kids the crucial relationship skills they need. -- Keywords: parenting guides, psychology, self-help, rivalry, brothers, sisters, relationships, children, teens, child development, family life, behavior management techniques, problems, constantly, aggression, aggressive, jealousy, discipline, how to help, getting along, out-of-control, stress"--
