If you have more than one child you have certainly noticed a permanent competition between them and this competition manifests itself in the form of arguments and comparisons of imposing opinions of control and bullying behaviors and sometimes evolves into insults and physical battles!
To reduce this, follow the following steps:
1- Establish strict family rules:
Parents sometimes condone their child’s misconduct and usually justify that the child is unaware of their misdeeds. The child’s upbringing vis-à-vis misbehavior or misbehavior and the lack of any tolerance towards it starts from the moment it is done regardless of the age of the child, So collaborate with your children to develop healthy family rules and laws that contribute to creating a family atmosphere of love and familiarity among family members and alleviate any potential bickering that may result from Fraternity Competition in the same home.
2- Justice has been done among the brothers:
The child’s sense that he or she is aggrieved compared to their brother, and that parents exaggerate their interest in one of their children without their siblings is a sign of the spark of fraternity competition through the child’s quest to gain the attention of their parents and their attempt to extinguish the bright star of the spoiled brother.
You have to deal with all your children with equal rights and duties and stand at one distance from everyone’s attention..
3- Identify family values and always value them:
Always appreciate the positive and healthy meanings of family values by pushing your children to support each other in crisis, in addition to supporting each other in challenges and tests, providing assistance and always making your family a single entity in your conversations and behaviors.
4. Be a role model for your children:
The child sees in their parents the best and ideal model and is influenced by their actions and behaviors in order to reach their way of thinking.
So you have to Know that you are monitored by your children, and your actions are your children’s biggest teacher and guide.
5- Adopt a constructive approach to resolving fraternity disputes:
You have to calmly address their disagreement, by having a constructive dialogue in which each of them discusses their own perspectives.
After that point to the points of contention and its causes indirectly, and be sure to check the serenity of hearts and that none of your children carries grudge or malice on their brother.
