Book Description:

When parenting authorities Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish sat down to write the national bestseller How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, they found that they couldn't contain their chapter on sibling rivalry.No matter how much they tried to pare down their advice, they found the subject inexhaustible -- and their readers agreed!

The result is this seminal book -- revised and updated after more than ten years of feedback from parents' letters, TV and radio talk shows, and Faber and Mazlish's highly successful parenting workshops. Siblings Without Rivalry guides the way to family peace and tranquillity with humor and compassion for both parents and children. Illustrated, 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.

This is a book that I like to pick up whenever I see it at garage sales or clearance sales simply because it's full of such wonderful advice to pass along to friends. I find myself re-reading it periodically when I slip into my old ways of nag/complain/fuss until I'm so frustrated with my children we end up miserable. Family harmony is easy to achieve when the principles in this book are followed.

Must read for anyone with more than one child--the sooner, the better! I have given it to several friends when they are expecting a 2nd. The authors' How To Talk So Kids Can Listen and Listen So Kids Can Talk is my favorite parenting book.

Sibling relationships are often fraught with rivalry, jealousy, bitterness, and violence, and the older kids get, the worse the problems seem to get. Sibling strife can be agony for the parents, and few are prepared for the intensity of the battles and emotions that their kids have with each other. The title, Siblings Without Rivalry promises a lot, and Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish (coauthors of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk) deliver the goods: a positive approach and specific techniques to help bring peace and cooperation into your home.
