If you've stumbled on to this article, chances are you're at least 10+ years older than your sibling. It can be difficult relating to your sister/brother with such a huge age gap, but it's definitely possible to have an amazing relationship with them.
The first thing you want to remember is THEY ARE YOUR BIGGEST FAN. No matter what I do, whether it's writing, getting dressed up, or getting ready to leave for work, my little sister is always right there giving me positive feedback (most of the time). "Have a good day at work!" "You look so pretty!" and my personal favorite, "I love you, BriBri!" Having a smaller human right by your side is possibly the best blessing ever.
Second thing you want to consider is they have a mind of their own. I love hearing her views on slime (because every kid loves slime), tv shows, and what she considers fashionable. *According to my mom, we both lack fashion sense, but I like to see what my sister likes anyway.* We usually don't agree on most things, like food, what we like for entertainment, or what we do for fun, but one thing we do agree on is our love for the ASTROS. Win or lose, that's our team.
Last, but not least... show them love and support any time you can. Being a kid is pretty simple, but I think it's easy to forget that it isn't always fun. Some days are a little rough, especially when things don't always go as planned. Other days can be great; full of rainbows and butterflies, even! Either way, I want to be there for my sister to show her I will always be by her side. We're siblings, so of course we argue and bicker, but we will always come together at the end of the day.
