Getting along with others is not easy. Now trying to teach our children to get along when they fight with their siblings is pretty difficult. Sibling squabbles provie an opportunity for parents to teach their childrent about respect, love, and honor toward each meber of the family. It is our sinful nature to fight and envy others. We can teach our children positive social skills at hoe to help manage these sinful tendencies. These social lessons will carry far beyond the home. They can help your children manage their relationship with others.

Take a moment to discuss a time where your children weren't too kind towards one another. What happened? How did the fight or disagreement start? How did they each react? What could they have done differently? Misunderstandings are the root of the most squabbles.  If we take the time to listen to one another, maybe there won't be as many fights.
