We don’t make it past the fourth chapter of the Bible before sibling rivalry becomes an area of angst and heartbreak for moms and dads. Even if your kids are not as bad as Cain and Able, the arguing, competition, and fighting can be a major drain. Licensed Therapist Brian Neal joins me to discuss the different origins of sibling silvery (including sin), general strategies to bring harmony to your household, and then answers to specific questions from parents (bossy children, fair vs. equal, competing brothers, and more)

Brian Neal is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)with the state of Delaware and Florida. He completed his undergraduate degree in Aeronautical Technology at Purdue University and received a Master’s of Science degree in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University. After transitioning from the aerospace industry at 45 years old, Brian gathered experience in counseling by working at a teen treatment center, community-based agency, church counseling center, and now runs his own private practice, True Course Counseling.
