Raising children is not an easy job. For parents who have more than one child, the next challenge is to maintain the relationship between brother and sister. Sometimes the difference in age and nature between the two will cause conflicts between the two. Here are tips that can be done for parents to maintain the relationship between brother and sister.

1. Stop comparing kids

The first thing to do is to fix the way we communicate with children. Conflicts between siblings are usually caused by parents who are too proud of one party compared to the other. For example, parents always compare younger siblings with older siblings and make younger siblings jealous of their older siblings, or vice versa.

2. Treat each child uniquely

Every child is born unique and different from other children, so parents need to treat brothers and sisters differently and adapt to the child's personality. This is one of the keys that can make brothers and sisters get along. For example, by treating older siblings as older children and being taught to be independent to love their younger siblings, while younger siblings are children who must respect their older siblings.

3. Bring brothers and sisters closer together

As parents, we can keep our brothers and sisters close since they were little by making them play together or spend time together. That way they will have a higher sense of affection and care because they have spent a lot of time together since childhood.

4. Teach children to respect each other

We can teach about mutual respect by setting an example in the family. Teach children to respect each other. Remind your child to treat others the way he wants to be treated by others.

Those are things that can be done to create a harmonious relationship between brother and sister. The point is that we must treat children fairly so as not to cause envy among them.
