It is a bond worth pursuing. A strong bond with the sibling can give you endless memories and some sweets moments to cherish forever.
* Communication is the KeyCommunicating your thoughts is the best way to reveal how you feel about your sibling. The best thing about having a sibling is that you do not have to pretend in front of them, they will love you no matter what. If you are angry, calmly sort things out by talking and if your sibling is, then try to calm them down. Do not aggravate the situation by saying things you don’t mean during an argument. Make communication your USP in your relationship.
* Respect each other’s PrivacyYou may not like when your sibling borrows things without asking, especially when they borrow your favourite belongings. They are your sibling so sharing things shouldn’t be a problem in the first place but if it is, don’t worry! Gently make them understand your perspective and they might. Don’t lower your chances of getting your way by fighting with them over petty materialistic things. Respect proliferates, so give it willingly to get some.
* Include them in your LifeChange your attitude of not letting your sibling hang out with you. You do not have to go out with them all the time but go out together, this will not only help strengthen your bond, but it will also allow you to know more about your sibling.
* Compliment them and Mean itSince you see your sibling every day of the week, you tend to look at their flaws and not their talents. Healthy teasing is not a bad thing but giving your brother or sister a genuine compliment can make them feel loved and respected – the two aspects that make any relationship stronger. Your kindness will bring out the best in your sibling, especially because they might not expect it to come from you.
