It's not a secret that very often siblings can't get on well.

I'm a person who's got, two brothers and two sisters. It took me quite a lot of time to understand my mistakes in building relationships with my siblings, correct them and create my guide for the people who have the same problems as I did.

First of all, whenever you've got a different point of view on something, do not confront, but discuss the issue. It means that you explain your opinion without anger respecting your sibling's arguments.

You probably don't like it when your sibling borrows your favourite hoodie, for example, without asking. If you want respect for your room, belongings, time and opinions, you must show that same respect to your sibling.

Our natural characteristic is to focus on our siblings' drawbacks, but instead, consider their talents, skills and strengths. Take notice of what they do well, not just what they do poorly. So, pay them compliments when they are worth them.

Finally, I'd like to say that siblings are on the same team, so it's much more rewarding to play together for reaching one good goal — a strong family than playing against each other.
