of sibling arguments over the smallest things that sometimes get physical.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><em>“That’s MY toy”</em>, <em>“I don’t want to play that game”</em>, <em>“That’s not fair!”</em>, or <em>“Give it back!”</em>, followed by the sound of a slap. 😶</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">If you have multiple kids, it’s GUARANTEED that sibling fights will occur. Even though sibling fights are a common thing in families, they can be difficult to manage if you don’t have the right tools.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">A lot of sibling arguments stem from this idea of fairness. Your kid might claim it’s not fair that their little sister plays with their toys, but they don’t play with their little sister’s toys. In reality, your older kid might not even want to play with their younger sibling’s babyish toys. This is where the concept of <strong>fairness vs equality</strong> comes in.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Equality has to do with sameness. Your kid gets to play with their sibling’s toys and their sibling gets to play with their toys. Fair is different. Fair means everyone gets what they need and people will have different needs because we are unique individuals.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">To minimize sibling fights over this idea of fairness, try to teach your kids to look inward to discover what they really want. Instead of looking outward and deciding that they want what their sibling has JUST because they have it.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This will bring comfort to your kid whose reluctant to share their toys with their younger sibling. They’ll be able to recognize that while they can’t play with their younger sister’s toys, they’re able to do “big kid” activities such as playing soccer on a team and will be more willing to share.</p> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-6 span-6 float float-left" data-aspect-ratio="91.41716566866268" data-block-type="5" id="block-5ec5c423d7ccc9de4773"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-site-default individual-animation-site-default individual-text-animation-site-default " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:1075px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio " style=" position: relative; padding-bottom:91.41716766357422%; overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black); " > <img data-stretch="false" data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png" data-image-dimensions="1075x900" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="" data-load="false" elementtiming="system-image-block" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png" width="1075" height="900" alt="" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 100vw" style="display:block;object-fit: cover; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-position: 50% 50%" onload="this.classList.add("loaded")" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60faebfb029676229b99d743/78be8f86-af8e-480e-9569-7747ec2e83b1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+11.55.21+AM.png?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </div> </div> </figure> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" data-border-radii="{"topLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"topRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0}}" id="block-86a5b053027018385f3e"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <h2 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">4 steps to dealing with hitting</h2><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Most times, as parents, it’s okay to let them work out their squabbles on their own.
