@dr_mikem: Sibling Rivalry Explained: Toddler & Preschooler Edition. Part 1. If you’ve got two little ones close in age constantly at each other, this series is for you. Let’s start with a concept known as the sibling bubble theory. Before a new baby arrives, your first child lives in a bubble where they are the center of your world: your attention, your lap, your time, all theirs. Then a sibling enters, and suddenly that bubble is shared. It’s not that your child is “acting out” or being difficult. It’s that their entire world has shifted, and they’re trying to make sense of their place in it. Understanding the sibling bubble changes everything about how we respond to the rivalry. Because what looks like jealousy or bad behavior is really a child asking one question: Am I still enough? 🥺 More on how to handle it in the next parts of this series. If you found this helpful, follow along and share it with a parent navigating the sibling years right there with you.
