“God uses sibling relationships to train our children for real world relationships.”
- Don & Suzanne Manning
So, who is ACTUALLY training your kids for the real world?
Siblings. The people our kids know the longest, the deepest, and the best. Siblings see each other’s best moments and their worst moments, sometimes on the same day.
As parents we have the opportunity to use sibling relationships to train and equip our children. The question is... how?
We can use sibling conflict to teach our kids how to resolve conflicts and more importantly how to forgive. We use sibling rivalry to teach our kids how to celebrate not compare. We can use sibling relationships to teach our kids how to love no matter how hard it may seem.
God put each child in your family, not only to be the perfect fit for your family, but to sharpen EVERY member of the family. We get to partner with His plan to help our kids be a success in all their relationships- and it starts with their siblings!!
