Summary:
The Baffled Parents series has been very successful at helping parents figure out how to coach their kids sports teams. Now the series goes beyond the sports field to help parents deal with the baffling topic of how to help their children get along with each other. Today's busy parents often don't have time to wade through whole philosophical systems of why sibling rivalry occurs - they just want quick, sound advice on how to respond to keep relative peace in the family. Organized for easy-access by topics that provoke the most arguments among siblings such as room sharing, borrowing toys or clothing, anger at comparisons, and jealousy, as well as issues such as holidays, school, girl/boy or same sex siblings, and even step and half siblings. Effective, quick solutions help parents sort through how and when to intervene and almost as important, when not to. Siblings will always fight, experience jealousy, and want life to be fair when it's not, but this guide will help baffled parents feel more in control and be able to enjoy time with their children more completely.
