»» BETTER LIFE CHOOL-AGE SIBLING RIVALRY MAY BE MORE VERBALLY SOPHISTICATED THAN TODDLER CONFLICTS, BUT IT'S NO LESS INTENSE - AND OFTEN MORE COMPLEX. You're enjoying a rare moment of peace when suddenly World War III erupts in the living room. The cause? Your eight-year-old is breathing too loudly (according to his sister), and apparently, he’s doing it “on purpose”. In the final of our four-part series, we'll go over practical techniques for building a strong sibling bond, with today's focus on how to deal with sibling rivalry between children aged six to 10. Wouldn't it be wonderful if your children loved playing together without any conflict? The truth is we can't expect our kids to get along all the time just because they are related. After all, adults don't get along all the time, and we have a choice about who we spend time with and share our lives with. Kids often have to share a room, toys, bathroom, and their parents’ time, and they have no say in it. When we think of it like that it is no wonder that there is sibling rivalry. Before you consider putting your kids up for adoption (we've all been there), let’s understand why older siblings fight in the first place. As kids grow, sibling rivalry starts to shift. School- age children are figuring out who they are while juggling friendships, schoolwork, and family life. Around six to eight, kids start paying more attention to rules and what's “fair”. By age eight to 10, they're more competitive and begin comparing themselves to their siblings. Once they hit 11 and beyond, they want more independence and space to be their own person.
