- At last it's no longer necessary for parents to grapple by themselves with the problems of sibling rivalry. Now for the first time they can get together, share their frustrations, and study the basic principles for reducing conflict and generating goodwill among brothers and sisters.
The Siblings Without
Rivalry group workshop is available in six audio tapes.
It's designed to be run either by a parent or a trained
professional. It is a self-contained, do-it yourself
course that enables you to bring together a group of parents,
teachers, students, colleagues, staff, clients, friends or
neighbors to solve common problems of living or working with
children of all ages.

unavoidable. In action-oriented, easy-to-understand anecdotes and
stories it shows the many ways you can teach your children how to
get along.
"An excellent book...offers dozens of practical guidelines and real-life examples for fostering wholesome cooperative sibling relations."

The goal of the Siblings
Without Rivalry group workshop is to help you to help
your children learn how to live together. Each session sensitizes
parents to what it is that increases hostility between children
and the attitude and the language that decreases hostility.
During each session, parents will learn and practice specific
skills that help to reduce friction and make harmony possible.
Participants will also have the
opportunity to take a fresh look at their own adult sibling
relationships.
