Bonding Ideas For Siblings

The rivalry between siblings is one thing that is prevalent in many families. As parents, it is of paramount importance to intentionally introduce the kids as they grow to the art of bonding with each other. When siblings do not  bond well,especially  from childhood it can develop into bitterness, resentment, unhealthy rivalry, etc that can last through life.

You should  adopt these fun ideas for bonding amongst siblings.

Teamwork

One sure method to make your kids grow a perfect bond is by giving them teamwork. Once they can work together without rivalry, fight and still settle, they will grow with the memories. 

Refrain from comparing

Comparing kids can undermine their abilities and also cause jealousy and rivalry. Learn to appreciate the individual uniqueness of each child. Do not forget to thank them for a job well done. It will bond them together as they grow.

Family fun time 

Create time to have a family get-together or family fun time. It can be in the form of an outing, going to the cinema or the theater to see a play. Such an outing is a perfect bonding period for siblings. You can also do other outing activities such as visiting an amusement or fun park etc.

Gaming together

Computer games or other forms of sports played together can create bonding experiences between siblings. They create memories that last through life. 

Doing school work together

Allow your kids to do their school work together while you supervise. It is another fun way to create bonding between siblings. They should learn to work together as brothers and sisters. 

Make them do collaborative work

Teamwork and collaborative work seem to be the same, but collaborative work is work where if one fails, all fail. Children find this kind of work interesting. Like searching for gold. 

Teach them to respect and appreciate each other

Respect and appreciation of each other is another way siblings bond. Teach them the art of respect and appreciation. It will kill animosity amongst them. Also when kids clash, hear each side and ensure that each child feels better after

your decision in resolving their conflict. Teach your kids to express their feelings and then resolve the conflict together.

Families that have siblings that are bonded together tend to do better, help one another, and are more focused on the achievement of the family goal which serves all.

Bonne Chance!!
