Rethinking How We Raise Siblings

In this solo episode of Robot Unicorn, Jess explores how family labels, comparisons, and our own childhood wounds can shape children's identities and relationships. Learn why nurturing your connection with each child matters, how to celebrate differences without putting kids in boxes, and what noticing everyday kindness can offer your family. Through examples from life with her three daughters, Jess shares ways to interrupt hurtful behaviour, validate big feelings, and help children ask for space respectfully. It's an encouraging look at building sibling bonds without forcing your kids to be best friends.
