7 Ways to be a Good Elder Brother

5.Have each other’s back

It’s not necessary to always involve parents in your issues. Say, he or she wants to go to a club or on a date and you know they can be trusted but your parents wont agree, then tell them that they have your back and advise him to support you this way too in times of need. Being supportive is the key word.

6.Share experiences

Communication between siblings should be done on a daily basis and you, being the elder one should share your life experiences that will be useful for your sibling to learn from. You can prevent your younger brother or sister from committing mistakes and getting hurt in life, thus teaching them important life lessons.

7.Be fun and not boring

Generally the smaller sibling is more fun loving and mischievous than his or her elder counterpart. If you are as lively, then i’ts great and if you are not then the least you can do is try to love life more for the sake of your sibling. Going to parties, adventures, trips, events, etc, can be a great bonding experience. However, if you prefer to stick to your more sober lifestyle, it will result in your sibling getting more dependent on their friends and drifting away.
