Book synopsis

When one child says, "That's not fair!", the real argument is often about much more than a toy, a privilege or a turn.

Why does one sibling receive more attention? Why is the oldest always expected to know better? When should parents intervene, and when should children work things out themselves? How can a family be fair when every child has different needs?

In The Fairness Problem Between Siblings, Avery Caldren explores the everyday tensions that shape relationships between brothers and sisters. From jealousy, rivalry and arguments over possessions to parental favouritism, personal boundaries, changing privileges and the pressure placed on older children, this thoughtful guide examines why fairness at home is rarely as simple as treating everyone equally.

Drawing on developmental research and recognisable family situations, the book offers parents a practical understanding of sibling conflict, meaningful ways to encourage cooperation and a more balanced approach to discipline, attention and individual needs. It also considers blended and adoptive families, children who require additional support and the importance of repairing relationships after disagreements.

Because raising siblings fairly does not mean giving every child the same childhood. It means helping every child feel equally valued within the family they share.
