How does one mom handle it, when she finds her daughters throwing dirt at each other?
(FYI: I'm taking your questions for an upcoming episode! What's on your mind about your kiddos right now? I'm a child development expert and parent coach, I'd love to help! Ask, and I'll address your question in our August 6 episode... I'm taking questions until Thursday, August 1 (which is when I'll record the episode.)

No matter the season, there's always an opportunity for kids to come into conflict with other kids.
Whether siblings, cousins, classmates or just somebody at the playground, mean words, pushing, and other acts of frustration or aggression abound.
So, do we parents just have to live with it, put up with the bickering and hard feelings?
Nope!
This masterclass is a distillation of three months' worth of work in the private, online community I run for parents of young children.
During April, May, and June 2019 we dove headfirst into the problems real parents really experience, and how to alleviate it when kids aren't getting along.
Today I'm bringing you behind the scenes, directly into the Ninja Parenting Community, sharing the information you need to help your kids actually get along!
Some of these ideas may seem unconventional, and likely (unless you are a member of NPC) they are new to you, but they REALLY work.
In fact we finish out with a success story! How does one mom handle it, when she finds her daughters throwing dirt at each other?

I share why in today's Parenting News segment.
Plus I read my recent review of Audrey Monke's wonderful book, Happy Campers!
