[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would 100% incentivize the 13yo to be with the 9yo.

That means:

- watching a movie together that the 9yo picks
- craft making together (obviously something simple, like a bead bracelet)
- board game together
- video games together

All will be good if the 13yo understands their responsibility here.

And I would not make it public to the 9yo that the 13yo is getting paid or getting a reward.  [/quote]

HAHAHA.  You don't have boys, that one thing is certain.

And no, the 13 year doesn't have to cater to the whims of younger sibling.  The 9 year old can learn to share and negotiate what they watch and is equally responsible as appropriate for their age level.

But I would be fine with it if there were neighbors or friends close by that they could call if needed.  [/quote]

I do have a boy.  Almost the exact same age.  14yo boy.  10yo girl.

And my boy is a wonderful older brother who would happily spend time with his little sister.  And we would thank him for be responsible and caring to his younger sister with a [b][size=18]small[/size][/b] reward afterwards[/quote]

You’re horrible![/quote]
