165: Siblings Fighting Again? The Hidden Toll Your Sensitive Child's Meltdowns Take on Their Sibling

Have you ever read every book and saved every script, only to freeze the second your child starts kicking and throwing things?

In this episode, I share my conversation with Jen, a scientist and mom of a seven-and-a-half-year-old daughter and a five-and-a-half-year-old son, who completed Chaos to Connection, my eight-week parenting program. Jen found me in a hard season, right after the holidays, when meltdowns were daily and her son would hide under the table any time she tried to correct him.

She opens up about why she almost didn't join, what surprised her along the way, and how things feel at home now. I'm SO proud of her!

You'll learn:

• Why knowing ALL the scripts can still leave you stuck with your sensitive kid

• What your "fine" kid might be carrying because of your sibling dynamics

• Why your easy kid might get harder as your family dynamics shift

• What made parent coaching click for a mom who'd already tried everything

• What breaking the cycle of childhood meltdowns really looks like in your home

• How sibling jealousy can hide behind behavior that looks careless

• What Jen changed about her own role when sibling rivalry flared up

• What the way you were raised taught you about siblings fighting

• Why sibling conflict looks different once you see what it's teaching your kids

• How to deal with sibling rivalry when you worry your kids won't be close as adults

If you already know what to do and keep getting stuck on actually doing it, this conversation is for you. Here's the thing: we're humans raising humans, so hard days WILL come … and the goal is knowing how to handle them so they don't become patterns that keep getting worse. You can learn that, even if you already know a lot. It's never too late!

Here's to raising resilient kids,
