How to Get Along with Your Brother or Sister

How much do you fight with your brother or sister? A little? A lot? We`re here to help!

[edit] Steps

  1. When in the middle of a fight,ask yourself,Is it really worth the trouble?. If your answer is no,stop yourself. Apologize and give your sibling a comforting hug.
  2. Don`t slap your sibling when they want to borrow your favorite toy! Instead,watch them play with it to make sure they don`t break it or get it dirty. This allows you to feel better but avoid a fight over something stupid.
  3. When you are babysitting your sibling and they want a cookie,let them have one! But give them a small limit to their snacking to avoid breaking rules or getting each other in trouble with your parents.
  4. When your sibling is bored,don`t say Well too bad!. Instead,offer to play a board game or take them outside to take a walk and have a friendly chat. Maybe even get them an ice cream or put on their favorite movie and crank up the classy tunes.
  5. When you do something wrong and don`t want to get in trouble,just tell the truth instead of blaming it on your sibling! You`ll get in more trouble if you lie,and you might cause a fight.


[edit] Tips

  • If you`re a "computer bug", you should lay off sometimes to let your sibling have a turn. They may appreciate it more than you think.
  • Don`t tattle on your sibling because they colored on the cover of their coloring book. It`s their business,and they can get in trouble themselves. When you do this, you`re doing yourself and your sibling a favor by avoiding a disaster or getting into stupid situations that shouldn`t happen.
  • Give your sibling a compliment when they do something well to make them feel proud. If you just ignore their accomplishments,you aren`t being supportive and could hurt their feelings or cause a silly arguement.
