If you have more than one child, you will most certainly have to deal with sibling rivalry at some point. Although this can take place in differeng degrees, it can be a difficult situation to manage.

Competition between children in a family is very natural. Children want to compete for the attention of their parents, and have not yet learned how to "share" their parents and their affections.

When one child believes that he or she is not receiving enough attention, he may become jealous and possibly violent toward his sibling. The parent may become convinced that the siblings really do hate each other. However, these outbursts are most often temporary, and siblings usually do have a strong emotional bond and affection for each other.
