I can't say if their sibling rivalry ever completely goes away. one thing that I have found to be somewhat sucessful was seperating them and making them write 20 things that they like about each other, and not letting them move until they did it. Bye the time they were done writing what they liked about each other, they actually liked each other again. This is not to be viewed as an all enclusive thing, but I've found that when you make them realize what they like about each other by writing it down. the rivalry seem to fall by the wayside...<br /><br />Racetoonsracetoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239384864363979444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-30495003682627090812011-02-16T14:34:27.725-05:002011-02-16T14:34:27.725-05:00I have no idea how to tackle sibling rivalry but I...I have no idea how to tackle sibling rivalry but I know that if not handled properly it can last a life time as it appears to have done between my Dad and his brother, and that is very sad. <br /><br />Fingers crossed you find the help you need tackling that one.Art Tidescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680781189400367930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-60190464808426787462011-02-16T08:02:58.657-05:002011-02-16T08:02:58.657-05:00Oh boy...

However, I do have a little trick for your daughter as she gets older.<br /><br />It seems to me that girls get to an age when they hate everything you pick out for them to wear (even if they like it). I learned from another mom who's daughter liked the opposite that she liked (seemingly on purpose) to use reverse psychology on her.<br /><br />If you don't like a certain dress as you are clothes shopping just tell her you love it and you think it would look fantastic on her! She'll drop it like a hot potato. Pick up something you love and casually say how you think it is kind of "ugly", she will fall on the floor because she will HAVE to have it! Beware, this will occasionally backfire, to which you just may have to suck it up.<br /><br />I will admit I had to walk a fine line with my daughter... she wants to be a fashion designer, so I had to tight-rope walk between wanting her to look decent as she was standing at the bus stop and not quenching the fashionista in her. <br /><br />She is out of the stage now, and has been for awhile... mainly because I know HER style more now and favorite colors, so I have a better chance at picking something she likes.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019562060252268854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-12312673333134711782011-02-16T06:17:58.392-05:002011-02-16T06:17:58.392-05:00The Monster Spray even works on the Daddy Monster!...The Monster Spray even works on the Daddy Monster!
