SIBLINGS WITHOUT RIVALRY Adele Faber & Elaine Mazlish
As parents ourselves, we have always found that Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish are way out in front when it comes to ways of communicating with and bringing out the best in the huge wave of 'old souls' who have been coming into carnation en mass in the last 10 years or so. As old minds in young bodies, these children are still afflicted with normal childhood problems (sibling rivalry being just one), but, as they do not see themselves as 'children', the old-style ways of helping them through these problems just do not work. So, for beleaguered parents everywhere, here is the practical guide you've been waiting for. It challanges the idea that constant, unpleasant conflict is natural and unavoidable. With anecdotes, stories and delightful cartoons, this book shows the many ways you can defuse those perpetual arguments and help your children learn to live together in the kind of peace they - and you - deserve. 250pp, 128mm x 198mm, softback, 1999
