[quote=Anonymous]Yon don't force it. There's no law that says you must, even if they're family. DD and one female cousin have never gotten along. It's been that way since they were both 4. It's like oil and water with these two together. I sat DD down and explained that you don't have to be friends with everyone, but you MUST be civil and polite with everyone. Even if the other person is mean and picks on you, you have to remain civil. I taught her to disengage from the situation and take a break when her cousin became too much to handle. Now they're both 16 and DD uses the same skills with her. They'll say hello, have small talk, and when her cousin gets to be too much, she'll excuse herself to find another group to chat with.
