How To Be a Good Little Sister

Being a good little sister can be difficult.You want to spend time with your siblings.Sometimes you feel like you aren't getting enough attention.Don't worry.It is possible to have a good relationship with your siblings.

Step 1: Say sorry when you need to.

You won't get along with your older siblings.You could hurt their feelings or make a mistake.When you apologize, you admit that you have done something wrong and are trying to fix it.When apologizing, be specific about what you did and how you will change it."I'm sorry for being mean to you" is one of the ways you can say you're sorry.I'm sorry.I won't do it again.I am sorry.Can I make it up to you?Your sibling may not forgive you right away.Give them time to get used to it.

Step 2: Don't talk if they are talking.

Listen to your sibling before you start talking.It is disrespectful to jump in a conversation.The rule is that only one person talks at a time.Take turns talking and be a good listener.

Step 3: You should express your feelings.

Being a good little sister tells your siblings how you feel.Let them know if they have hurt your feelings or made you angry.Let them know if they did something you really appreciated.Don't be afraid to talk to your siblings.Even if you fight, they still love you and want the best for you.Being able to talk will build trust.

Step 4: You should do nice things for your siblings.

It is more likely that your siblings will be nice to you if you are nice.Doing kind things for someone is a way to let them know that you love them and appreciate them.If you want to make it up to your sibling, this is a really good strategy.If you are at the store with your parent, bring something that your sibling will like.Do not tell your sibling what you plan to do, you could also take out the trash for them.Let it be a surprise.Do not expect anything in return for doing something nice.It's because you love and appreciate your sibling.

Step 5: You can make an appointment to talk.

Establish a time that you will meet to discuss the issue.Listen to your sibling and tell them how you feel.As possible, try to stay calm.If you and your sibling don't know how to work things out on their own, ask a parent to be there.It is possible for your parent to make sure that things don't get too heated.Keep in mind that you are having a specific issue.If the problem is that your sibling is spending too long in the bathroom before school, do not bring up the fact that they never let you pick a show on the television.

Step 6: Understand your sibling's point of view.

It can be difficult to understand how your sibling feels when you are fighting.Your sibling may have kicked you out of their room because they wanted to be alone.It's possible that your sibling doesn't want to spend time with you.Your sibling might need some alone time after a bad day."Why did you say that?" is a good question to ask your sibling.Are you okay?

Step 7: Avoid being called a name.

If you and your sibling don't get along, calling them a name or putting them down will only make things worse.If you are upset, this can be difficult.If you are talking too much, get away from your sibling.Tell your brother, "I'm really angry right now."I want to be alone.I will talk to you later.If your sibling calls you a name, don't say anything that means anything to them.

Step 8: You can find a solution for both of you.

Both people involved in a conflict should get what they want.One person will be happy if the solution is one-sided.You could offer something in return for giving up something.If you want to play with your sibling's phone, you may say, "You can play my video game if you let me borrow your phone."You can get something your sibling wants if you offer something that they want.If you're not sure of a good compromise, ask your sibling what would make you happy.Is there anything I can do to help you?

Step 9: You should try to work things out on your own.

If you and your siblings are fighting, try to work it out on your own.Try to find a solution that works for both of you.Your parents will see that you are responsible if you solve problems on your own.Let your parents know if your sibling threatens or hurts you.As problems occur, deal with them.Don't let things get out of hand.

Step 10: When they have company, don't bother them.

Don't bother your siblings if they have friends over.You might want to hang out with them, but they should be alone.Wait until they call you.They are more likely to want you to come back.They will ask, "Can you get out now?" if you start to hang out with them.Say "Sure" and then do something else.You should already have some activities if you know your sibling is coming.Play video games, read, watch a movie, and so on.You can do that.

Step 11: Before you borrow something, ask.

From time to time, your siblings might have something that you would like to use.Before you use the item, ask to borrow it.It could be that your sibling doesn't want to share it with you.Can I borrow your name?I will give it back to you tomorrow.If you borrow something, take care of it and bring it back in the same condition that you got it.Don't borrow a phone and bring it back with a cracked screen.You can ask your sibling why they say no.If you know the reason, you can convince them.Do not whine or beg if your sibling doesn't share with you.Accept their answer.

Step 12: Don't eavesdrop.

Dropping will get you nowhere.If you want answers, you will end up back where you started because your sister/brother will find out and you'll lose their trust.If your sibling wants you to know something, they will let you know.If you eavesdrop, do not repeat it to other people.Your friends, parents, etc.If your sibling is on the phone or having a conversation that doesn't involve you, go to another room.

Step 13: Don't be a tattle-tale.

Don't tell your mom if there is something small that your sibling did.Before you tell your parents, talk to them.Tell them if you can't work it out.You can tell your parents if your sibling is in danger.Your siblings will not be able to trust you if you are a tattle-tale.It is fun to keep secrets when you have siblings.

Step 14: Don't be jealous.

It's possible that you get jealous of your sibling.Maybe they make better grades, or get more attention from their parents.You shouldn't let jealousy affect how you treat your sibling.When you feel jealous, remind yourself of what you've accomplished.Think about how well you did at the dance recital if your sibling made straight "A's."Congratulate your siblings when they do something.They are more likely to support you if you support them.Take a deep breath and ask yourself, "Am I upset with my sibling or do I wish the situation was different?"Talk to your parents if you are having jealousy problems.It's best to deal with your feelings and not keep them in.

Step 15: Do not compare yourself.

You might compare yourself to your siblings.You don't get to do things that they can do.It is possible that your parents deal with them differently than they do with you.This is not because your parents don't love you as much as they used to.Older siblings have different privileges.As you get older, you'll get more privileges.Your siblings may be able to do things that you can't.Your sibling may be able to ride a bike well, but you are having a hard time with it.Your sibling was not always good at riding a bike because they had more time to practice.Continue practicing.

Step 16: You may have different interests.

Your siblings may not always be interested in the same things that you are.If there is a large age gap between you and your siblings, this is more likely to happen.It is normal to have different interests.Maybe your sibling is dating a teenager.They may not spend as much time with you.Your sibling still loves you and nothing is wrong with you.You can spend more time with your parents and friends by doing things that you are interested in.You won't be sad about your sibling doing things without you if you are busy.
