Sibling conflict is a normal phenomenon – but it can get out of control to the point where brothers and sisters are at risk for physical and/or psychological harm. We meet with each child individually, and then bring the siblings together to discuss specific grievances and develop a plan to fight less and enjoy each other more. A written contract is then signed between both parties. Parents are involved to learn about the agreements made and ways to positively support and enforce these agreements. This can usually be accomplished in 4-6 sessions.

Common topics of discussion are:

Teasing and put downs

Embarrassing each other in front of friends

Tattling to get each other in trouble

Taking/breaking each other’s things

Invading each other’s space

Annoying/demanding excessive attention

Interrupting during phone conversation or homework

Bossy/demanding behavior

Failure to share
