Who simply loves it when the kids are fighting?!!!!  I know I do! 

Nothing brings this momma more joy than when the oldest is picking on the youngest.  Even better... when the kids are wrestling for the remote control and end up whacking one another with passionate rage and aggression!  Yes!  What a proud and peaceful mom moment!! 

Said NO MOMMA EVER!!

In this episode, I speak specifically to a mom in AHFAS private facebook community.  She is open and honest about losing her ever loving mind with the kids' constant fighting and bickering.

I hear you, Girlfriend, I hear you.  We all hear you. 

Today, we're talking about:

• Mom's frame of mind & reaching out the the Lord for miraculous calm in those moments
• Addressing the root issues behind the tension
• Specific language and verbiage to use in those moments when you want to scream at the kids to 'STOP IT NOW OR I'M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND. WAIT?!!  I JUST DID!!"

All this and I'll offer a specific strategy to end sibling rivalry that I like to call Peacemaker Points.  (While this will likely work up until the age of 12, you can use the general principle of this strategy to end sibling rivalry in older sibling dynamics).

Be encouraged, Momma!  Sibling rivalry is no fun, but remember that these relationships are to be a blessing to our children as they learn how to navigate conflict.  God has chosen these kids to be the sibling of the others and I believe wholeheartedly that He is in this 100% with them.

In the end, it's really not only on Mom to solve these issues.  We just get to participate at some level.  We won't be able to fix it always.  And that is ok, Friend.
