(NAPSI)—Getting brothers and sisters to look out for each other can be easier than many parents realize. It helps to plan family activities that are fun for everyone. If your kids have good experiences together, it can be a buffer when they come into conflict. It’s easier to work things out with someone with whom you share warm memories.
One thing to try: Read books or watch movies about family interactions together—and ask your youngsters how they would act in the various situations the characters get into. An enjoyable example is the recently released DVD “Fun Size.” Victoria Justice stars in the movie as a teenage girl who resents having to watch her little brother when she’d rather go to a party with her friends. But when her brother gets lost, she learns some valuable lessons about family and what matters most.
