23 thoughts on “Teaching Siblings Love For Each Other”

  1. To this day my sister and I do not get along. I don’t think it;s anything my parents did, though. We just clash.

  2. My sister and I are best friends. Our half sisters on the other hand would love to claw each others eyes out (no joke). I think it depends on the individual. You are doing a great job, Mama.

  3. I think children learn best both.. verbal and example. I tell my girls they are each other’s best friends for Life and to never let anyone get between them. We will see how long that lasts.

  4. I think kids learn a lot more by example. But words are important, too. My boys will fight but they do love each other.

  5. I think teaching children to love each other – or anyone for that matter – is best accomplished by parents setting a loving example. Children learn what they live.

  6. Sibling relationships can be so hard. It is great that you are thinking about what you want for them, and actively working to teach them and show them those things.

  7. Like Robin, I don’t get along with my sister either and it has nothing to do with parenting. My girls, however, are super close, so I think it’s just a matter of the personality lottery and which ones in the family are going to connect more.

  8. I think children need a good example and direction to learn something. Being a role model for your children is very important.

  9. Having siblings is a dream of mine since like always. I`m pretty sure now I should stop dreaming of this as it would never happen.

  10. My son is an only child however….I do have a *MUCH* younger sister who is just a year older than him. They act a lot like siblings.

  11. I would say most people learn best through example regardless of age. Great ways to teach children!

  12. I agree it is so important to to teach kids this. Thank you so much for taking time to give others some helpful tips!

  13. I always tell the kids the best thing I ever gave them was each other. I encourage them staying close even though two of them are grown on on their own. Thankfully, they have a wonderful relationship. I think verbal and example are equally important.

  14. My kids do not get along that great and it makes me sad. I am hoping once they are out of the teen years they will get along better.

  15. I think they learn best through both. Example is a strong method of teaching and one they’ll remember but no ones perfect so telling them what they need to do is good too.

  16. I think kids learn in all different ways. I’ve also seen that one kid might need several different ways to learn something. Thanks for sharing this heart felt post.

  17. My brother and are close but my sister and I haven’t had a relationship in years. 🙁 My son is an only child and I sometimes feel very sad that he doesn’t have a sibling, but it wasn’t in the cards. I so hope that he makes a good friend that will be there for him for years to come. I know my bff is closer than a sister (especially since mine wasn’t).

  18. Kids may argue, but when it comes down to it… no one better give a sibling a hard time. My kids were like that. Arguing one second and defending each other the next,.

  19. we don’t allow physical fights, there’s too many other ways to resolve issues. I do make them talk things out and listen to the other side of things
