When dealing with sibling rivalry it is always important to be fair and
|
|
not jump to conclusions. It is also very important to remain neutral. One
|
|
must also deal with conflicts objectively, so as not to allow your own
|
|
problems get in the way and worsen the conflict. These rules go for both
|
|
parents and baby sitters and should always be kept in mind when dealing
|
|
with such situations.
|
|
|
|
One of the roots of sibling rivalry is jealousy. Another is fear. When the
|
|
rivalry is between a baby and a toddler it may be because the toddler is
|
|
jealous about the attention his brother is receiving or out of fear that he
|
|
will receive less attention now that his mother is caring for his brother.
|
|
|
|
In such a situation the older brother may act violently toward his younger
|
|
brother in the absence of an adult. In such a situation there are different
|
|
theories about what to do. Some say that a parent should allow them to work
|
|
it out by themselves (unless the baby is too young). The instinctive
|
|
reaction is to scold the older brother and "baby" the younger brother. This
|
|
helps neither brother. The younger brother feels more dependent, which
|
|
damages his self-image, while it makes the older brother resent the
|
|
attention his younger brother receives even more.
|
|
|
|
In this situation my personal belief is that a person should calmly
|
|
explain to the older brother that what he did was wrong, but forgivable.
|
|
You should also explain why it was wrong in a way the child can understand.
|
|
In my opinion the worst thing a person could do in this situation is to
|
|
force the child to apologize. It will reestablish that what he did was
|
|
wrong, and, since his baby brother is not able to respond, will make him
|
|
feel even more guilty. The apology will also be insincere unless it is
|
|
explained to the child why what he did was wrong. The guilt the child feels
|
|
will also be translated into a facade of other feelings. I believe it is
|
|
most likely that the dominant feeling would be even more anger toward his
|
|
younger brother. In my opinion, older children would be able to work out
|
|
their arguments for themselves if they are separated and forced to present
|
|
their reasoning (with the help of an adult to translate).
|
|
|
|
Punishment is also a hard topic to deal with. Not giving punishment would
|
|
tell a child it is okay to bully someone weaker. A harsh punishment would
|
|
only amplify the tension between the siblings. I believe that punishments
|
|
should be fair, and, when assigning them, be sure that the child being
|
|
punished understands that he is not being punished because of his brother,
|
|
but because he knew his actions were wrong and committed them anyway. If
|
|
the child was ignorant that his actions were wrong, I believe you should
|
|
explain to them why their action was wrong and suggest another way of with
|
|
dealing with his situation, oppose to punishment.
|
|
|
|
Sibling rivalry is unavoidable, but can probably be lessened by treating
|
|
children equally, not jumping to conclusions, and helping children
|
|
establish a firm morale base which they adhere to.
