Tips for Addressing Childhood Conflict

Someone called me today about her sister bullying, yelling at her, and feeling entitled.

No matter who is bullying you or your child, even if they are your family members, you have to focus on stopping the bullying. No one should be allowed to scare you or make you feel bad. Please.

These are steps for teaching your children to reduce childhood conflict.
