I came into my COVID revised senior project thinking I’d be able to test the strategies I learn about through research, on my little siblings. I have come to the realization, however, that this is unrealistic. One reason this is unrealistic is that I am not their main caregiver, which means 1) they don’t respect me as much as my parents so they are less inclined to listen to me, and 2) any attempt I make to productively resolve conflicts between them is conflicted or reversed by my mom or step-moms’ parenting strategies. Most of the time when I attempt to calmly resolve a conflict between my siblings, my mom or step-mom takes over and starts yelling at them, escalating the situation. Additionally, since my siblings are almost 8 and 11, and have been accustomed to one parenting strategy their whole lives, their behavior cannot be fixed or changed easily or in the span of 6 weeks (of which I only see them every other week). For these reasons, I have decided that rather than try out strategies on them, I will observe them and how my parents deal with them, then write about what I’d do differently in the situation to produce a different outcome.
