[quote=Anonymous]Given your history I would just caution you against being too pushy or overreacting to the expected squabbles of childhood. You can't force your kids to be close, but you can avoid parenting pitfalls that torpedo sibling relationships - favoritism, locking them into roles "the athletic one" "the smart one," etc., comparisons ("why can't you be more like your sister/brother"?). See and value them each as individuals, and hopefully they will see and value each other as they grow and mature. Do fun things all together as a family; have happy family memories that they are both/all a part of. Be kind and loving and expect that of them (as developmentally appropriate) and hope for the best.[/quote]
