This is what makes parents feel dizzy when planning time hangout with family. However, you don't worry. When the atmosphere at home is cool and calm and their schedules are both vacant, try to persuade them to go out together on the weekend so that the sibling relationship will continue forever.
Exciting activities that keep your siblings close to your old age
1. Take a walk together
Reporting from the Journal of Travel Research, traveling is the right activity to break the ice and strengthen relationships. So, there is nothing wrong with letting your two favorite children go on a trip together.
Going out will inevitably create an opportunity for the brother and sister to exchange stories to pass the time. The two of them will also discuss with each other to determine the places they want to visit and what activities they want to do.
Going out together also creates a mutual need for each other so they will try to always be together. That way, brothers and sisters will learn to understand and empathize with each other's conditions. In the end, the brothers became close and quarreled less and less.
No need to walk out of town or even abroad. Just give them an allowance and transportation to visit local recreational spots in your area, such as a theme park or museum.
2. Exercise together
Exercise is not only beneficial for physical health. There have been many studies that reveal exercise can make us happy.
Sports together can also build a sense of sportsmanship and togetherness. The reason is, exercising together will require interaction between the brother and sister, which over time makes the two of them more close.
There are many types of sports that the brother and sister can do together. Starting from jogging or cycling around the house complex, swimming, to playing ball or badminton.
3. Window shopping at the mall
Take a walk in the mall while looking at the items behind the window (window shopping) can be an alternative to fun activities on weekends that make siblings close.
The atmosphere when shopping, starting from selecting items, models, colors, to comparing the prices of the items, will require them to have more interactions and discussions. Their compactness is also increasingly sharpened to find the best items and within their budget.
You don't always have to buy an expensive one. Going to a bookstore just to buy stationery or to a shop to buy kitchen utensils can be an exciting activity to make your siblings get closer to each other.
