Create Bonds not rivalries

I think it’s great that books like this even exist. Typically parents just go with the flow and navigate raising siblings on auto pilot or wing it. That’s not a bad thing. We don’t know what we don’t know. Well this book provides a real guide to the chaos and goes way beyond the obvious advice. I found it really helpful.
