“Be nice to your sister!” “Stop picking on your brother!” “That's a time-out for both of you." When nothing works to stop the incessant battles, what can exhausted parents do? Sibling expert and family therapist Jonathan Caspi offers research-based insights and highly practical advice in this supportive, compassionate guide. Clear principles, dos and don'ts, and loads of stories give readers a fresh understanding of why siblings fight and what to do about it. The book shines a spotlight on family dynamics. Dr. Caspi explains how to quell sibling struggles without taking sides, ways to make kids feel valued without comparing them, when to intervene (and when to step back), how to handle parenting-related couple conflicts, and ways to teach kids the crucial relationship skills they need.

Jonathan Caspi, PhD, MSW, is Professor of Family Science and Human Development at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Dr. Caspi is an internationally recognized sibling expert. In addition to researching, writing, and teaching about families and siblings, he has been a family therapist for over 30 years, and has a private practice in New Jersey.
