From Chaos to Connection: Coaching Sibling Conflict with Confidence (Episode 160)
Episode description
In this episode of Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester explore one of the most common stressors for families—sibling conflict. Instead of falling into the trap of being a referee, dismissing the drama, or shutting it down, what if you could coach your kids through it?
Kyle and Sara break down the three roles parents often play (resister, dismisser, ref) and why they don’t work. Then they share a compassionate, research-backed alternative: coaching kids to build empathy, communication, and emotional regulation through conflict.
You’ll learn:
- How to shift from solving fights to building lifelong skills
- The power of connection in reducing rivalry
- Coaching prompts to use with your kids today
- Why modeling adult conflict well matters so much
- How sibling conflict can become a growth opportunity
"Sibling conflict isn’t a failure — it’s a chance to teach lifelong relationship skills."
