Probably one of the most daunting aspects of parenting is having multiple children. Not only must we shower them with love and kindness, we also need to ensure that they do the same for each other as siblings.

Some may disagree and feel that it isn’t necessary, believing that their children will get along fine because why shouldn’t they? However, from personal experience, I am certain that parents play the biggest role in how the relationship between siblings turns out. It all starts before the second child is even born; words used by the parents when referring to an unborn sibling have the ability to stick with the elder child (depending on their age).
