Is one of your kids always in the spotlight?
Whether it’s sports, academics, or a lead role in the school play, these moments can create tension at home. In this episode, I’m joined by Becca Wallace, a fellow therapist and experienced mom of five, to unpack how to deal with sibling jealousy—with compassion, clarity, and practical steps that actually work.
We talk about what really happens when one child is constantly celebrated, how to support your other kids through it, and why confident parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being intentional.
If you’ve ever found yourself caught in the push-pull of parenting siblings, this conversation is for you. We share actionable sibling rivalry solutions that help every child feel seen, valued, and supported.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why traditional advice falls short when you're navigating how to deal with sibling jealousy—and what works instead
- The one simple exercise that helps you identify and honor each child’s strengths when parenting siblings (even if they’re not the “star”)
- How a “family team” mindset can transform your approach to parenting siblings
- Why even the kid in the spotlight needs more than praise—and how to give it to them
- Real-world, therapist-backed sibling rivalry solutions to help your family stay emotionally connected
No one prepares you for what happens when one child’s success accidentally sidelines the others. But you’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong. Tune in to learn how to deal with sibling jealousy in a way that strengthens your whole family.
Listen now for grounded insights, gentle humor, and confident parenting tools you can use tonight.
