How to Stop Sibling Teasing (& Why It Happens in the First Place)

If you’ve got more than one child, you already know how infuriating it can be when one kid starts picking on the other, seemingly out of nowhere. It might seem purposeful and mean, and it can be super tricky to meet both kids’ needs in these tough parenting moments.

 

In this week’s episode, I answer a listener’s question about how to stop sibling teasing. I dive into the many reasons and complicated dynamics that cause one child to seemingly intentionally provoke the other, and I share both strategies to intervene in the moment and to help you feel prepared before things ever get to that point.

 

Here’s the thing: It’s super normal for siblings to fight, tease each other, and otherwise struggle sometimes. The conflict we see on the outside is just the manifestation of how our kids are feeling – both in general and towards each other – on the inside. Understanding what’s really going on in these moments is key to supporting our kids effectively.
