Sibling Rivalry Is Not Just for Kids!

Now, some people think that sibling rivalry is just for little children... We are supposed to grow out of it, say some others. But, if the rivalry is not managed properly, it will grow and worsen over time. Please don't believe the myths that "Kids will be kids," "That's normal," or "Just stay out of it and let them work it out." While these general comments may be correct... the parents must assess the situation carefully and know when and how to intervene... Ever read the Old Testament? Lot's of unresolved sibling rivalry, there! I guess it's been around before we had mental health "experts," huh....
