Giving your child a sibling is like handing them a winning lottery ticket, but it’s our job as parents to make sure they actually cash it in.

In this episode, I’m talking through my philosophy on raising siblings who genuinely like each other, not just tolerate each other. We’re covering why parents are the ones who set the culture in the home (you’re the CEO, the pilot of this plane), the difference between being mad and being rude, and the small daily choices that teach kids to root for one another instead of competing.

I also get into what the research says about raising close siblings, and the honest truth that even when you do everything “right,” your kids still get to choose who they become to each other.
