when siblings are too far apart in age difference,
1) they get along
2) they don't get along
it doesn't matter what culture you are in.

and so as, when siblings are around the same age.
1) they get along
2) they don't get along
it doesn't matter what culture you are in.

parents play an important role when raising their kids. parents needs
to encourage their kids to get along with one another, depend on each
other, learn from each other, love one another, etc because when the
parents are not around, all the kids have are their siblings. most of all,
they are blood related. they all come out from the same womb.

here is the thing. people change as they grow older and this is unavoidable.
however, when A changes to the left and B changes to the right, then
it's very difficult to bring them together. they are so "far apart". they didn't
grow with each other and didn't walk the same path, thus they didn't experience
the same cirsumstances.

i guess it all comes down to communication skills in essence. parents play a
big role to communicate with everyone in the family. parents needed to
motivate all the kids to communicate with each other so that whoever had
experienced in one thing can share with the rest like; the French teacher in
this high school. avoid her class in any way.

so what can we do if we are already 'far apart' from our siblings.

START to pick up the phone and say Hi!! How are you doing? Be sincere most of all.

here is the challenge, you can't clap with one hand. in order to communicate/clap,
u need both parties. what if the other party doesn't want. is it, doesn't want or
don't know how, to start the ball rolling.
