How Do I Handle Sibling Competition?

It's hard for kids to share their parents. Siblings can feel like they're competing for the ultimate resource: your love and attention.

In this week's episode, Dr. Becky offers several strategies to parents navigating sibling rivalry—from validating our kid's tricky feelings about siblinghood to encouraging cooperation to introducing mantras through play.
