[quote=Anonymous]I don't mean this to sound self congratulatory. I have pretty strained relationships with all my siblings and I don't think any of us would turn to each other for support now that we're adults - that makes me sad. I do not want that for my kids. My DS (12) and DD (10) are really each others best friends. I make a point of noticing the smallest kind gesture they show each other and I repeatedly tell them it makes me so happy to see how well they treat and support each other. Of course they have their spats, but when they do and I say how sad/disappointed it makes me to see they aren't being kind that generally resolves it without getting into the nitty gritty. I think it helps they are of opposite gender and they are generally such easy kids.[/quote]
