Building a Better Bond with Your Older Brother

Growing up with an older brother can sometimes feel like walking on eggshells. When I was ten and my brother was thirteen, I often wondered why he seemed distant or even a bit harsh. Over time, I realized that understanding his perspective and showing genuine interest in his hobbies helped bridge the gap between us. If you want your older brother to be kinder, try these steps: First, talk to him about things he enjoys and listen without judgment. Second, respect his space but invite him to join you in activities you both like. Finally, express appreciation when he does something nice, no matter how small. These small efforts can slowly turn competition into connection. Have you ever struggled to get along with an older sibling?
