Dear Siblings Around the World,

Put down your dukes and bear with me for a minute.

I know your big brother probably pushed you in the mud again, or your younger sister once again ate your snacks without asking.

But before you go hitting them, pinching them, poking them, teasing them, or however you two handle conflict resolution, I’d like a few minutes of your time today to give you some important reminders and notes about being a sibling.

3 of them, to be exact.

If you are also a parent, you might find this article useful.

This time, as a younger brother who is no longer in touch with his older sister, I’d like to share my experience with a sibling and also provide you with my unique insights that can hopefully help you create a healthier, stronger bond with your brothers and sisters.

Note #1. Be there for each other. You’re a team within the team that is your whole family.
