Stop the non-stop sibling fighting
Get the system that gives siblings a simple process to communicate without yelling or hitting.
"They're resolving more disagreements on their own!"
"My kids were arguing a lot and not communicating well. The S.I.B. Journal got them to work together on challenges and think positively about each other."

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You want your kids to be kind to each other, but worry they'll never stop fighting.
The yelling over whose turn it is to load the dishwasher.
The screaming about who said what and how that sibling is "the worst brother EVER," a jerk and not being fair.
The fighting over insignificant things like how one took the other's LEGO set six months ago and "Oh-my-gosh" it still matters now.
You're not alone if:
You're exhausted. Your kids constantly come to you to solve their problems from whose turn it is to watch TV to "She called me a baby!"
You're frustrated. Your kids seem to love each other one moment. Then, five minutes later you hear screaming, "you're the worst brother EVER!!!"
And you're overwhelmed. The fighting makes your brain hurt... and you're feeling like the referee in a WWE fight.
You try to keep their fights civil, but there's a chance they might ignore you and dropkick each other.
Hey, I'm JoAnn Crohn, M.Ed.
I want to help you by teaching your kids how to effectively communicate their feelings to each other!
I have two kids - a 12-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy.
My son still screams at his sister, "You're the worst sister EVER!"
My daughter tells her brother what to do, what NOT to do and how to do it... which drives him crazy!
And me... I frequently feel caught in the middle. I want the screaming to stop. I want them to love on each other and get along.
But that's not how sibling relationships work.
Rather than forcing a love fest, it's more important for kids to name their own feelings, communicate those clearly, and work through their problems, together.
I taught this process to my kids that I honed through my experience as an elementary school teacher.
Let's make this happen for your family!
CONSIDER WHAT'S POSSIBLE
Imagine Your Kids Knowing How to Tell Each Other How They Feel
That means your kids:
CALMLY TELL EACH OTHER HOW THEY FEEL
Instead of throwing, hitting and screaming at each other.
LISTEN TO WHAT THE
OTHER SAYS
Instead of only thinking about their feelings... they also consider their sibling's feelings.
APPRECIATE EACH OTHER MORE
Instead of saying that their sibling hates them and is mean.
"THEY WERE GIGGLING THE ENTIRE TIME!"
"My 7 and 9-year-old loved it! They were giggling the entire time. Both liked giving the kind notes to each other. They made a game to hide it and the other sibling would find it."

I’m also here to fully support you to get that calm home you really want.
That's why I've included the interactive video series for kids to explain the journal and get them excited as well as a parent guide for you so you'll know how to support them throughout the journal, as well as how to react when they fight.
DOES THIS JOURNAL SYSTEM WORK FOR KIDS WITH ADD OR ADHD?
We created the journal system with all kids in mind.
The videos in the "Kids Interactive Journal" are short, bite sized chunks of information.
There are several short, fun and interactive games in the journal for the kids to do together as well.
I HAVE MORE THAN 2 KIDS. HOW DO I GET MORE COPIES OF THE JOURNAL?
While the Basic & Plus packages come with 2 hard copies of the journal, you can print as many copies of the digital version as you'd like.
You can also purchase additional hard copies for only $15 each!
DO YOU HAVE A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE?
No system works unless you follow through with it, but we are confident that if your kids complete the S.I.B. Journal system, you will see positive results in the way your kids communicate with each other and with you.
That said, if your kids complete the course work and for any reason are not completely satisfied, simply email [email protected] within 30 days of your purchase and we will refund your purchase - minus the value of the 2 nonrefundable, spiral-bound S.I.B. Journals, no questions asked.
Don't waste another precious moment feeling helpless during your kids' fights!
