07. Sibling Rivalry: Turning Conflict into Character Growth
In Session 7: Sibling Rivalry: Turning Conflict into Character Growth from Heart-Based Approach to Parenting, Dave and Marsha talk on the podcast about Dr. Scott Turansky’s insight that sibling conflict can become a powerful teaching moment rather than a constant frustration. As they reflect on his ideas, they discuss how rivalry often exposes heart issues like jealousy, fairness, and self-control, and how parents can coach children instead of simply stopping the fight. Their conversation highlights guiding siblings to take responsibility, understand each other’s perspectives, and practice problem-solving with support. Dave and Marsha emphasize that when handled with a heart-based approach, everyday conflicts can shape empathy, patience, and lasting character growth in children.
