Assalaamu ‘alaykum,

Jazakillahu khairan Sr. Sana for writing a piece on this topic. Great article mashaallah.

I wanted to add, coming from a big family, I think what contributed to us being so close and helped minimize rivalry growing up is that we had to share most things. We shared rooms, clothes, games, etc. Up to an age we even shared beds. Of course we all fought and argued, and still do but it hardly lasts. We did have our individual items, and we did ask permission to borrow but I think having to share rooms and sharing small spaces was the biggest factor in forcing us to work out our differences as we were always in each others face. lol.

I remember learning in a lecture another helpful tip; to not get involved during sibling arguments unless its absolutely necessary (someone using curse words, or getting physical). But they should learn to work out their differences without interference because one child can easily interrupt your actions as taking sides.

Just some thoughts, looking forward to hear what others have to add!

First & Foremost it is a meaningful article actually siblings are own bloods but even then they are rivals @ sometimes each other and sometimes may be very jealous. But when a problems comes with other they will all get together and raise with one voice and oppose the other party because of own blood. I wish to convey my sincere thanks for publishing this article. “jazakhallah khairan “
