Turn Up the Imagination
Are the kids starting to get on each other’s nerves? A 7-day sibling challenge can motivate them to be kinder toward each other and keep the din down to a minimum as the heat of summer rolls on. You can offer points and make the sibling challenge a game of sorts with the winner receiving bragging rights or a token of some sort, such as choice of ice cream or lunch. Or the sibling who has offered the most assistance, comfort and kindness to other family members can take their siblings out for a special treat of their choice at the end of the week.
