Sibling Bonding

November 3, 2009

Sibling Bonding“Mom, she doesn’t want to share..” cried Ajib.

“Mama, it’s mine..” Liya pressed her statement.

I deliberately did not want to favor either Ajib or Liya. They fight as regular as they enjoy each other’s company. Nothing in the world can beat the music to my ears when they giggle and laugh even though I must hush them up if I am driving or talking over the telephone.

I usually carried a small notebook and several pens in my handbag. For example, by letting Liya and Ajib occupied before the meal, the table was in array. Each drew what they saw in the restaurant.  So, sharing can improve understanding and communication skills. Ajib and Liya also can learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses as well as personal preferences. This is hoped to overcome sibling rivalry and ensure lifetime bonding with mutual repect.
