Sibling Rivalry
Many families are home together all day, every day. With less time to separate, sibling rivalry can increase. This workshop is for parents experiencing challenges between their children such as arguing, name calling and fighting. We will cover why sibling rivalry occurs and practical ways you can prevent and bring an end to these challenges.
Tuesday February 16, 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Free Online Workshop, Register here
These free programs are being offered through the Family Institute and they also have an archive of past programs on their website:
