Excellent Book!!!

This is a great book. I have twin boys who are almost two and I bought this book to help better understand sibling relationships and rivalries. Althought I can't quite use all the techniques described just yet, I know that I will use this in the years to come. The book has wonderful cartoons that help illustrate the techniques the authors describe. It's a great book to keep handy. I also recommend the authors' other book, "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen so Kids will Talk.

Simple and wise guidance for parents

The title sounds trite and unrealistic, but this little book is anything but. Written with a sense of humor and lots of practical suggestions. Includes a chapter on how to handle sibling differences and conflicts when one child has special needs. I recommend this book wholeheartedly to parents with typical children as well as children with disabilities. The reader will refer to the advice in this book over and over--like a good friend.

Grown-up kids prove this book's value

I read this book in 1992. At the time, I was the mother of a seven-year-old girl and a five-year-old girl. I began applying the lessons immediately. Now twenty-one and ninteen, my daughters describe us as one of the few families they know where the kids are truly friends. This is very different from my own childhood experience. My children had conflict growing up but I learned how to help them learn to resolve it in a positive way, thereby dramatically reducing the stress in our home. I also saw my kids use the techniques with their relationships with friends! I also have a twelve-year-old daughter and eleven-year-old son that get along really well, even learning to share the television and computer, so it's not just luck with the older ones. I now routinely give this book as a gift to parents of a second or third child. I HIGHLY recommend this to parents of children of any age.

Loved this book!

I'm a mother of a 2-1/2 yo and am about to have a second baby. This book has so many good tips and approaches to dealing w/ inevitable sibiling problems - I've highly recommended it to many of my friends already. I think this book is helpful at any stage...I'm glad I read it BEFORE the second child was born!

Food for thought

Besides all the raving reviews here on how helpful this book is to raise more than one kid together, with which I agree, I would like to add this point:

For adults coming from a background of extreme hate and rivalry among siblings, this book gives an incredible insight on their identity and the forces that shaped their characters (which are not always so obvious to the involved parties)By reading it, one gets to know oneself better. Are there so many books which can claim the same out there?

Oh, and it might be worth reading to normal people too. Easy to follow despite the casuistic approach, which, in general, I find very annoying.
