Having a brother or sister can be tough. It can also be great, but it’s hard to see the great parts with so many bad parts getting in the way. Problems like fighting and bossing. Teasing and jealousy. Tattling. Pestering. And more.
But what if you could do something about those problems? Clear them away. Then you’d be able to actually enjoy your siblings!
This indispensable guide from best-selling author Dr. Dawn Huebner speaks directly to children ages 9-12, teaching skills to help them manage feelings and resolve conflicts, strengthening the bonds between brothers and sisters.
Warm, witty, and packed with practical strategies, this interactive book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering siblings to live in peace.
Praise for The Sibling Survival Guide
Once again, Dawn Huebner provides invaluable and brilliant advice for children, parents, and therapists. This book on sibling dynamics fills a major void and is a must-have for any child with a sibling. It will enjoy a spot in my office alongside the rest of Dr. Huebner’s fantastic books.

Packed with practical guidance pitched just right for school-age children, Dr. Huebner’s Sibling Survival Guide fills a critical need in the literature. The book avoids feeling preachy while inviting children into more effective ways of living with irksome siblings. Those who know Huebner’s other work will immediately recognize her practical wisdom, warmth and humor. Those who don’t are in for a treat. A must-have for anyone who lives or works with siblings who squabble.
