Helping Children understand Divorce (2)
How to solve sibling’s conflicts in divorced families?
Some siblings also engage in more conflict because they are competing for their parents’ attention. So, parents should :
· talking with them
· listening to them
· spending some time alone with each child
to reduce their children’s rivalry. Besides that, parents also need to realize that younger siblings may have an easier time expressing their confusion than their older siblings.
Therefore, parents should be sure to talk to the older siblings even if they do not seem upset. It is also important for parents to encourage children to continue rituals that were established before the divorce so they will have some feelings of continuity and stability.
