MP 052: YES, Your Kids CAN become Best Friends

“I don’t believe an accident of birth makes people brothers or sisters. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage.

Now, they are our best friends, an integral part of our identity. How did that happen? Creating an environment in which siblings can form sisterhood and brotherhood should be an essential part of your parenting playbook.
