LESSON 4 · Sibling Wars to Sibling Peace

Rituals That Bond

Tiny daily rituals do the quiet work between siblings. Start small and let them repeat:

  • A morning fist bump or a secret handshake.
  • Chore time where they work side by side.
  • The older sibling reading to the younger at bedtime.

Weekly, try a sibling "date" where the two pick an activity together, no parents along. The point is regular, low-pressure time that is theirs alone.
