Sibling rivalry

Sibling rivalry is when two or more siblings don't get along, or compete with each other because they both want their parents' attention. This can happen when siblings feel like they aren't getting enough of their parent's love or attention. They may argue and fight with each other over things like who gets to pick the TV show or who gets to play with their parent's phone. They may even try to get in trouble, just so they can get more chances to show how good they are! Even though sibling rivalry can be difficult to deal with, it can be managed. Parents can set clear rules and expectations, as well as spending quality time with each of their kids so they can get to know each better.
