Surviving Summer Sibling Squabbles - With Behaviour Expert Jodie Jones

Episode 2, Season 2: Sibling Conflict During the Summer Holidays

Dreading the sibling tension with your kids already? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by my brilliant friend and parent coach, Jodie, for a real and relatable chat about how to handle sibling conflict - especially during the long summer break.

Please note that we recorded this as an IG Live a year ago, but it's too good to not repurpose!

We share key insights to help you better understand what’s really going on underneath the bickering (spoiler: it’s not about the red plate), how your own patterns around conflict might be playing a part, and how to step into the role of calm mediator instead of referee.

We cover:
💥 Nervous system triggers & reactivity
🗣️ Teaching kids to express their needs and say “no”
👶 Inner child work & why this can feel so hard
🫶 Why conflict isn’t bad - it’s an opportunity for growth

Whether your kids are pre-schoolers or tweens, this one’s full of compassion, practical tools, and a gentle reminder: you don’t have to fix it all.

Disclaimer: This episode doesn’t cover more complex family dynamics like neurodivergence, blended families or grief. We ran out of time! But I absolutely will be covering these as separate episodes in the future.
