Stopping Sibling Rivalry
If you have more than one child, chances are that you have experienced sibling rivalry in your home. While sibling rivalry is nothing new, the level and intensity of it can be exponentially magnified when one of more of the children in your home has a history of trauma. Trauma undermines a child’s placement in the family system and it compromises a child’s regulatory system. The combination of these can have a devastating effect on the ability of siblings to get along and it easily destroys any sense of peace in a home.
Traditional Methods Do NOT work
Solutions to sibling rivalry given through Internet websites, magazine articles, and books are geared towards helping more of the “typical” family. They do not even comes close to addressing children with traumatic histories who are living from intense histories of abandonment, neglect, and rejection. Such traditional suggestions given in these resources such as consequences, time-outs, and “just letting them work it out” not only do not work but can be harmful for families dealing with sibling rivalry at much more intense levels.
