Is this book significantly different from How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so Kids will Talk? I already own HTTSKWLALSKWT (woah - abbreviating that is definitely not better), but haven't read it yet. It is worth reading this book first?

Does this book offer any advice re: sibling rivalry? Our 4 1/2 yr old son and 3 yr old daughter fight and tantrum with each other all the time. It causes a great deal of tension in our household , and clearly we are not parenting it the way we should because it is ongoing. Just wondering if I should be looking elsewhere for help with that problem...

Rosa DA Chapter 3 deals with sibling rivalry. But to be honest, I feel like the entire book has examples of siblings interacting with each other.

Of the things I remember at the top of my head, the book covers parents' speech comparing the children, what to do when each child keeps telling the parents what the sibling did bad expecting punishment, and how to deal with an older child that gets annoyed with the baby. I think you should check out this book, it might help you in areas that you were not thinking of at the beginning. (less)
