Holding Space for More Than One: Navigating Sibling Life and Relationship
It can be hard to emotionally, as well as physically, hold space for two or more children at the same time. You may feel pulled in many directions, eager to provide each child the support and connection they are asking of you. You may notice an escalated sense of competition of needs or struggles between siblings during certain times of day that you want more support with. You are not alone. In this session, we will explore sibling dynamics and siblinghood from the perspective of attachment. We will identify dynamics between siblings that may cause more stress and tension within the household as well as strategies towards connection and less competition.
