Hi T, I realized that my kids had to be happy for each other when they started going on outings with their dad and I just couldn’t stand it turning into a war of whose turn it was or “his outing was better than mine…” Nothing spoils a treat faster than getting home to a bunch of envious grumblers. Not all kids are the same and their treats are not the same but over time we intend to be fair!!! My kids have learnt to be excited when their sibling gets an outing or a treat they didn’t get… because their turn will come and they are all treated in their own way. I expect them to be joyful when their brother gets a book he has been dying to read or a sister gets an outing to a movie… They seem to have got it!!!

#3 on your list really jumped out at me- teaching them to be joyful on their sibling’s behalf- powerful stuff and difficult too! But what a gift to learn this at a young age

Hi T, Glad you like it… My kids know when I ask them: “Are you being your brothers keeper?” That I am expecting them to raise their game – nice just isn’t enough!!! It has been quite easy to extend beyond siblings when you think about who your brother is… Hope you have a fabulous day!!!

Such a good post. I think I am going to adapt this for our son in his relationships with friends and other family, since he is an only child.

Blessings to you!

Such a high calling, to love others as Christ loved us, isn’t it? But soooo rewarding!
