Your siblings and cousins are incredibly important and precious friends. They are the people who have known us the longest and have lived closest to us. As we grow up, doing these things can help build a strong and lasting relationship with them.
  1. Cook Something Tasty
    Making a meal for your siblings and cousins can bring a big smile to their faces. Just try to make it delicious!

  2. Celebrate Together
    There’s always something to celebrate! It could be birthdays, the first or last day of school, reaching a goal, starting something new, getting their adult teeth, or even waking up early. Celebrate these moments with your siblings and cousins.

  3. Write in a Journal Together
    Your siblings and cousins do so many nice things for you. Writing these down in a journal helps you remember the good times instead of just the bad ones. In 5-10 years, reading these sweet memories together will be very special.

  4. Talk with Each Other
    No matter how different you are in age or whether you live far apart, keep talking to each other. Try to chat every day and show you care by asking questions like, “What made you happy today?” “Do you need help with anything?” or “How are you doing today?”

  5. Listen, Share, and Keep Secrets
    Everyone has secrets, whether young or old. Be the one who listens carefully to your siblings’ and cousins’ secrets and keeps them private. Being a trustworthy friend is really important.

Remember, these little acts of kindness can make a big difference in your relationships. They show your loved ones that you care and help you stay close, no matter what changes life brings.
