concepts are transformative....Dr. Markham's approach is about being the parent you want to be: about raising happy, responsible, emotionally healthy
children; and about the revolutionary idea that love and relationship are at the heart of parenting.

This book walks parents through sibling scenarios—even ones for very intense children—and breaks down the specifics of how to approach common
struggles, without making parents feel guilty or overwhelmed. It is a wonderful resource that gives parents the tools to not only help our children
while in the midst of conflict, but also helps us to teach our children how to be the loving, kind and respectful brothers and sisters we know they

Whether you are just beginning to contemplate having a second child or you are already frustrated by nonstop sibling fighting, this book is for you. I
marveled at the amount of wisdom, compassion, and practical ideas packed into its pages. The wisdom begins with her gentle reminder that we have to
start with ourselves if we want to make meaningful changes in our children's relationships with each other. The compassion is in Dr. Laura's empathy
for everyone in the mix—including angry and worried parents. And the ideas aren't just practical and usable—many of them are downright
fun. You'll laugh out loud just reading them, and everyone will laugh when you try them out. Wouldn't that be a nice change from bickering and clobbering?
