Book Review: "The Sibling Survival Guide" By Dawn Huebner



This was a bit long for a children's book in my opinion but it was written well and contained some helpful tips for parents, children, caregivers, and the like.

The central focus was upon sibling rivalry, competition, and the ability to get along for the sake of all involved.

Should you find yourself having difficulty in this arena you can use this easy to read guide on ways to minimize and deescalate the problems before they get out of hand.

For example: The author mentions using what's known as the Learning Theory. Reinforcing good behavior. Creating a chance for the pot to simmer by using methods such as deep breathing and or moving while compromising for the sake of all.

Add a touch of humor and it should all be fine.

Well, it's not quite as easy when you have three teens as a single, bankrupt, and once homeless parent such as self following a divorce in which you're left without income, assets, or savings, including zero credit or employment -having raised your med disabled child and two others solo.

However, if you're not in a similar situation in which constant stress and drama runs your life via the family courts, attorneys, and others than perhaps these simplistic methods will work for you.

Thank you to Dawn Huebner, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle.

Just remember when reading that the home comes in many forms and not everyone is blessed to have a normal upbringing without toxicity of every form.
