We sit down with Dr. Laura Markham—clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and founder of Aha! Parenting—to explore one of the biggest challenges parents face: sibling relationships. From everyday squabbles to deep rivalries, siblings can bring out both the best and the worst in each other. Dr. Markham shares evidence-based tools to reduce conflict, foster empathy, and build lifelong bonds of connection between brothers and sisters. Together we talk about how parents can move away from refereeing fights and instead coach their children toward problem-solving, emotional regulation, and mutual respect. Whether you’re navigating constant bickering, helping kids adjust to a new sibling, or simply hoping to strengthen sibling harmony in your home, this episode is packed with warmth, wisdom, and practical takeaways you can use right away.
