Being raised in a family will inevitably bring about a touch of sibling rivalry. It is all just a part of the growing up process. It has always been the case since the beginning of time, and I guess it will never change.

How many people have heard of passive parenting? Well maybe this can stop the fighting between siblings! Well this is how passive parenting works, see what you think!

We all know that kids love to tell over their brothers or sisters, just to try and get them into trouble. It happens in every family in the world. Tne way to try to make things a little easier is to try to get a few ground rules set. It is okay to inform on your siblings if they are intentionally being destructive in the house or with your property, or if they are hurting you for no reason, but if they keep trying to tell over them for something insignificant, then tell them off instead.

Instead of always sorting out their problems all the time, occasionally why not just say something along the lines of "wow that must really annoy you" do not always fix the problem but offer a statement instead,

If they keep coming back with the same complaint, then you keep giving them the same answer. This will annoy them at first, but they will soon realise that perhaps they can sort it out for themselves. This may not always work, but should work some of the time.

Get you kids to take some responsibilities themselves and set their own house rules. It is important for them to try to sort out their own problems if they can do so.

If they have separate bedrooms, then they must ask first before entering somebody else's room.

Making sure that siblings can sort out their own problems can make them grow up to be a more confident person, because after all sibling rivalry is always going to be there.
