These tips can be used with siblings as well. When you there is a conflict between more than one child, do what can to empathize with each person’s perspective. You may need to alternate who you start with (so you’re not always addressing the same child first). Listen, don’t pick sides or make a judgment call, then listen to the other child with the same openness. Paraphrase both kids concerns and feelings and see if they can work toward a solution.

But what I’m struggling with is how to handle this between siblings when there’s only one grown up present. How do address the needs of both kids in that moment?
