Chapter 06 — Family & Parenting

How do I stop my kids from fighting?

Don't be the referee. Coach both sides on repair: name what happened, say what they wanted, propose a fix. Sibling conflict is where kids practice negotiation, so total peace isn't the goal.

Follow-up questions

When should I intervene?

Physical violence, cruel words, or clear power imbalances. Otherwise let them work it out.

Age gap matters?

Yes — bigger gaps mean less rivalry but less companionship; closer gaps have more friction, more friendship.
