It's normal and even inevitable for siblings to fight. It's important to understand that while you can lessen the fighting, it will never completely go away.

Siblings fight because of competition, jealousy, different demands and temperaments, and occasionally because they are bored or trying to get your attention.

Unbelievably, there are even some advantages to sibling rivalry. It can help kids in learning how to handle power struggles, make compromises, handle and solve conflicts, set limits and be assertive, among other things.

In the end, sibling rivalry is not meant to be eradicated. The idea is to maximize any positive elements of sibling rivalry by using disagreements as teaching opportunities.

Simultaneously, you can implement guidelines, structures, and techniques for developing relationships that will lessen toxic and excessive sibling rivalry.
