Reviews-
This book shows that siblings hitting each other is not just "kids will be kids" and something to be tolerated unless it gets too raucous. It is one of the ways children learn that hitting another member of a family is intolerable, and therefore one of the causes of later domestic violence. Best of all, this book gives parents the tools to do something about it.

This comprehensive examination of sibling abuse not only uncovers its extent and impact, but offers parents sensible and useful advice. Sibling abuse is the cradle of family and interpersonal violence. Wiehe provides a timely and useful means of preventing the tragic toll of violence in our society.
