Raising Good Humans
by Hunter Clarke-Fields MSAE
A Mindful Guide to Breaking the Cycle of Reactive Parenting and Raising Kind, Confident Kids
The chapter challenges the conventional wisdom that siblings should naturally be best friends, focusing instead on equipping them with essential skills for all of their relationships. It proposes a shift in parental focus from worrying about sibling friendship to modeling respectful communication and conflict resolution. By adopting win-win problem-solving approaches and empathetically listening to children's feelings, parents can foster an environment where children learn compassion and respect. This perspective emphasizes guiding sibling relationships through skills and mindset rather than forcing a superficial sense of friendship.
