MANAGING sibling rivalry

The school break is in full swing, which typically means spending more quality time with our loved ones. Although these are the moments we often cherish, it’s also a peak time for arguments to erupt between siblings. Paediatric psychologist and Nature One Dairy Australia partner, Amanda Abel, shares her expert advice on how to diffuse and manage difficult family situations.

Just like adults, it’s completely normal for siblings to argue, but Amanda points out the main difference that parents should keep in mind.
