PARENT QUESTION: Will siblings that argue learn to respect each other?
ANSWER: The more positive a family environment that you create, the more your children see their parents treating each other with respect, and you treating them with respect, the more likely it will be that they will treat others with respect. It won’t end sibling conflicts but it definitely will increase the likelihood that your children will treat each other with caring and respect! You need to create strong limits on what your children are allowed to say to each other. Fighting over a remote is different than calling someone stupid or ugly!
