Siblings Without Rivalry

How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too

By: Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish

Narrated by: Kathe Mazur

When parenting authorities Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish sat down to write the national best seller How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, they found they could not contain their chapter on sibling rivalry. No matter how much they tried to pare down their advice, they found the subject inexhaustible—and parents agreed!

Siblings Without Rivalry guides the way to family peace and tranquility with humor and compassion for both parents and children. Action oriented and easy to understand, it's packed with sensitive yet sensible ways to turn quarreling siblings and frustrated parents into an open, communicative family.

Excellent resource!

This is a book I will listen to time and time again. The guidance of what to say and what not to say to promote healthy sibling bonds are so amazing. I’ve noticed a difference after a day.

some good examples

some good examples and philosophies to take. not as scientifically backed as I like.

This is a great book with a lot of new information

Would you consider the audio edition of Siblings Without Rivalry to be better than the print version?

For me yes. Depends on the person. I tend to process things better when I lessen to books. I do own both.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Siblings Without Rivalry?

I wouldn't say that this book has memorable moments. The style of the book is written in a way that I am able to recall the stories (examples) and then I can try the strategies out on my children.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Siblings Without Rivalry?

Too much to list.

Amazing book

Such an amazing book, helpful with lot of examples and not just theories. True advice for exact situations!

Excellent

I’ve already recommended this book to one of my clients. This is a great book and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic parenting book

Probably my favorite parenting book with other favorites being how to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk and happy toddler on the block.

So helpful!

As an only child it was wonderful to gain some understanding of what it must be like to have a sibling so that I can better help my two boys.

enlightening informative wonderful

a lot of the things that you did I mention I went through as a child but I forgot all about it as an adult with my six kids thank you very much let me remember

must read book!

wonderful must read book! I have listened to it 3 times now. I highly recommended!

Very good reading; great advice

This book, in its sprint form, has comic illustrations to demonstrate its points. The reader does a fine job of relating the information in those, so I did not feel the book suffered for lack of graphic support. The advice is sound, deceptively simple, absolutely worth implementation.
