SparkleCast Episode 14 – Sibling Rivalry with Dr. Carrie Contey

Dr. Carrie Contey is not your typical parenting expert. Her work offers a new perspective on children, parenting, family life, and being a healthy, happy, whole human being.

In this episode, Carrie, David and Rebecca discuss the story "Martin and Sylvia: The Snowball Factory" and talk about common dynamics between siblings, especially when they result in conflict and hard feelings.

Story:Martin and Sylvia: The Snowball Factory" from the Stories about Sibling Rivalry Collection.

Tools:

  • How "regulating" yourself can help calm and stabilize discord between siblings

  • The difference between "rivalry" and "revelry"

  • How to use story to reframe and give context to dynamics and "roles"

  • What sibling rivalry might look like in blended families and with "only" children
