Ep. 5: Promoting Peace in Our Homes (Constant Sibling Fighting Doesn't Have to Be the Norm!)

- One of the biggest stresses of motherhood is sibling fighting. I know from personal experience how frustrating it is to have a home full of strife and bickering. But we are not helpless! Scripture has given us an arsenal of tools to combat our oh-so-human tendencies to squabble and try to get our own way at the expense of peace in our homes. In this episode, we talk about a Christian's response to our culture's assumption that "constant fighting is inevitable" as well as some very practical steps we can take to create a culture of more calm and camaraderie in our homes.
I mention our family's Penny Reward System as a resource.

I also have two whole chapters on promoting sibling love + positive/negative media influences in the M Is for Mama book (available most places books are sold).

This is so so helpful. I feel like each of your bullet points should be its own podcast! I often tell my kids, who were all born 15-18 months apart, that I gave them best friends and that they're a team. So no matter what happens, we we'll figure it out. But you gave me so many practical tips. Thank you! Please do more on this topic!
I am not a mom, and I will never be (😄) but this is GREAT motivation and encouragement! Thank you. There is so much good information, I am going to have to re-listen to it.
I’m really enjoying your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom ❤️
My older brother used to poke me in the ribs all the time!! Must be an older brother thing. One day I shouted at him, “why do you do that!?” He shrugged and said “because I love you.” I don’t remember what the conversation was after that but it changed the way I saw his constant “pestering” and there was a lot less rib poking from then on.
Love this, Abbie! 💖 Thank you for sharing with us.
Loved this episode.
Such a great podcast! Much needed I’m sure. Thank you so much for sharing the story about you and your brother getting in fights as children. I have one younger brother (22 months apart) and we got along so well as children and as adults now. So when my children argue it’s so upsetting. So I really appreciate the encouragement
I have listened to this episode over and over but I still don’t get it… what does it mean to ‚start as you intend to go on‘? Does it mean that we should not set the bar to high for it would be too difficult to keep that up in the long run?
What buzzer system do you use?
