SIBLINGS!

Hello Reader ☺

I am very thankful to you for being on my page. It is my third article and I am glad about it. Please read till the end to know exactly what I have said. Okay, let’s get into the topic, Siblings.

United as Siblings

Every house with siblings must be filled with fun, crazy fights, complaints, rivalry, and love. Every house with siblings must be….? Should it be like that? Or is it like that? There are houses with siblings where they hardly get to talk to each other. Some are reserved, they kind of talk only when it is needed. Whereas some people have made up sister and brother despite having their sibling. They respect them more than their sibling. Exactly! Nothing wrong in it. It happens only because they have never spent quality time in understanding and accepting each other. They seek love and acceptance from the outsiders. It comes positively only when the parents or caretakers model that kind of behaviour in their presence.

For instance, an elder sister guiding the younger sister in her academics, brother guiding his sister in her career, brother correcting the sister when she complains about mom’s food, sister acting responsibly when handling money and valuable things, brothers being protective of their sister and so on.

There are siblings in the name of advice- they keep rewinding the same tape and they think what they are saying is correct and not try to understand the other person’s point of view.  Isn’t it annoying? And, it leads to conflict and widens the gap between the siblings. To bridge the gap it is essential to be wise whenever your sibling approaches you for guidance or support. Never give advice, but do give a lot of suggestions. Respect your sibling’s feelings and emotions. Listen to what they have to say. Give them personal space and encourage them to brainstorm and come up with their own solutions. This will enhance the respect that they have for you and they remain grateful to you for being such strong support.

Siblings are blessings in disguise and most of us fail to understand. They are stress busters! We vent out to them; they make us understand what we should do and should not do through their actions; we disagree and argue on insignificant thoughts; we give and take opinions; we continue to annoy each other and still we hold that mutual love and respect for one another.

There is a lot more to write about this vast topic, and it becomes more beautiful when you reflect and connect to your life. I would like to leave you all saying that

'A brother or sister is someone who is more than a friend'.
