God made boys with a competitive spirit. They crave the excitement of challenging themselves against others and emerging victorious. This desire to compete is a positive characteristic. But when competition within the home mutates into sibling rivalry, beware. Sibling rivalry often begins with jealousy, bitterness, and resentment. Because brothers and sisters don’t know how to process these emotions, they often resort to bickering, insults, and even outright fighting. As a parent, it’s easy to grow impatient with your quarreling kids. Instead, take time to pray for wisdom. Evaluate what the core issue is—and then respond accordingly. Many times, boys simply need greater physical activity or encouragement to achieve meaningful goals.
