War deeply affects children and families, creating a need for targeted interventions to foster resilience.
When parents catch behavioral issues in their younger children such as aggression, defiance, rule-breaking, or difficulty controlling impulses, the first instinct may be to adjust their parenting styles or to seek professional guidance. These approaches do have merit, but many families overlook a powerful influence on younger children's behaviours: their older siblings. The relationship between siblings is one of the most important bonds in the family system, with potential for positive or negative influence.
