Hope you all are having a Happy May!
This week in my Family Relations class we reviewed a study done about siblings, specifically sisters. What the study found was that having a sister protected adolescents from feeling lonely, unloved, guilty, self-conscious and fearful. "Having a loving sibling of either gender promoted good deeds, such as helping a neighbor or watching out for other kids at school... loving siblings fostered charitable attitudes more than loving parents did."
Interesting right? I just wanted to say how grateful I am for my siblings, brother and sisters. I am also so grateful for my brother and sister in-law. I have been changed for knowing them, and it was definitely for the better. I also want to add my belief in the importance of having multiple children and how it will truly benefit the children in development and having a sense of belonging.
I hope you all can love and appreciate your siblings in ways that are special to you.
Love, Kirsten
