Why Your Kids Fight Constantly (And How to Help Them Actually Like Each Other)

Why Your Kids Fight Constantly (And How to Help Them Actually Like Each Other)

When your kids can’t stop fighting, it can start to feel hopeless. The yelling, teasing, and constant bickering wear you down, and sometimes, you start to wonder if they’ll ever actually like each other. But sibling conflict isn’t just annoying. If it goes unchecked, it can become something deeper and far more damaging.

In this episode, I’ll share the story of two brothers who grew up hating each other and how it shaped their entire adult lives. You’ll also learn what healthy sibling conflict looks like, what crosses the line into emotional harm, and the steps you can take to help your kids rebuild trust and connection.

This isn’t about being a perfect parent or keeping the peace at all times. It’s about teaching your kids how to love each other, even when they disagree.

In this episode, you will learn:
• The difference between normal rivalry and sibling trauma
• How to stop the cycle of constant fighting
• What to do when cruelty becomes “normal” in your home
• Simple ways to build shared experiences and family traditions
• The one rule every family needs: zero tolerance for cruelty
