Siblings

From Rivals to Allies — mediating conflicts, understanding jealousy, and truly seeing each child.

A second (or third) child doubles the love, but also the noise. "He always takes my toys!" "She always gets to do everything!" This book helps you from the pregnancy of number two to daily arguments at the dinner table: how siblings grow into each other's safe haven instead of each other's competition.
