Should the whole family be forced to go to counseling for abuse and neglect, so that the kids will not repeat the abuse?

Most people see kids fighting as a natural occurrence in the home. It is often called, “sibling rivalry” (Caspi, 2002). This is when some parents have to step outside the norm and decide to go to family counseling. Parents and caregivers sometimes have no other options. When sibling violence is left untreated it can affect the relationships not only in the home but outside of it. Children are more likely to act out in the form of “peer bullying” (53). This can affect their relationships at school, their school work, and other relationships. Families can be affected by the sibling violence due to the fact the younger or other siblings may not understand what’s going happening. Learning how to deal with it is another thing they may not understand. This will add more undue stress to a family. This is where (PCIT) can make a difference on how the family copes with the violence and starts to fix the problems that come along with the abuse and neglect part of sibling violence. “The only downside is there is not a wide study for sibling abuse”
