Being the Best Big Sister: Tips for Stronger Sibling Bonds

Growing up as the eldest in my family, I learned early on that being a big sister isn’t just about setting rules—it’s about setting an example. When my little brother was born, I was nine, and suddenly, I had someone looking up to me for guidance and comfort. One thing that helped us connect was spending time together, whether it was reading his favorite book or playing outside. I realized that listening to his worries and celebrating his achievements made our bond stronger. Being patient and understanding, especially when he made mistakes, taught me the value of empathy. If you’re a big sibling, remember: your actions and words matter. Be there for your younger siblings, encourage them, and show them kindness. How do you support your siblings?
