Why Your Children Fight-And Why That's Not the Real Problem

Your kids are at war again. One screams that her brother looked at her funny. The other insists his sister breathed too loudly. You're exhausted, bewildered, and wondering if you failed some fundamental parenting test. Here's the truth nobody tells you: sibling rivalry isn't the disease-it's the symptom. The real issue runs deeper, touching something primal in every child's heart. Each battle over toys, attention, or perceived slights masks a terrifying question: "Is there enough love for me?" Children don't fight because they're broken or because you've done something wrong. They fight because they believe parental love is finite, that one child's gain means another's loss. This scarcity mindset transforms siblings into competitors rather than companions. The revolutionary insight that changed countless families? You can't eliminate these feelings-and you shouldn't try. The path forward isn't about stopping the anger but about teaching children what to do with it.
