Today I’d like to continue to talk about how to resolve sibling rivalry. There are two ways to deal with it: one is quick-fix actions, and the other is long-term cultivations.
Take quick-fix actions wisely:

1. Separate involved children immediately. If children are getting angry in fighting and you don’t think they can resolve themselves, it’s wise […]

Sibling rivalry is very common and not easy to resolve, but with a win-win-solution mentality, parents can help kids resolve most of their conflicts, especially wrestling over quantifiable or measurable things. Sometimes parents would hear their kids saying like this, “He got a new toy. I didn’t. My parents must love him more than they […]

When my son was at primary school age, every time I asked him to do something, like taking a bath or going to bed, he would ask, “Why?” or replied, “I don’t want to.” Nagging or whining didn’t work because he just ignored you. It’s a waste of time and energy. Fortunately, I found […]

1. Before going to any store, I would talk with my children where and what I would buy. […]

Bullying on playground is a serious concern at every school. Over at the Daily Light, an article explains why children tease, when teasing turns into bullying, who bullies and why. The consequences for victims of bullying are traumatic:
Victims of bullying may suffer from anxiety, fear and low self-esteem. They may avoid peers, school and social […]

My husband is pastoring a church where there are nine Sunday school teachers. Most of them are stay-at-home moms. They have been investing a lot of their precious time in teaching our church kids week after week.
Last year our church would like to give them our big thank-you. I was designated to buy something meaningful […]

Some children whose primary love language is acts of service would be very sensitive to what their parents do for them. They may not remember everything that their parents did for them, especially those acts of feeding or changing diapers when they were babies. But they would remember some specific incidents that their parents helped […]

If parents can nurture their children in a well-structured home life with positive guidance, children will thrive to grow more and more mature and responsible. Over at the website of Kansas State University, I found two online parenting courses that will lead you through a series of lessons for your own study at your […]
