DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

- Why do you think it’s sometimes hard for brothers and sisters to get along?

- Do you think it’s easier to be an oldest, middle, or youngest sibling? (“Sibling” means brother or sister.) Why?

- If you have a brother or sister, what fun things do you like to do together?

- Do you have a close friendship with someone who isn’t a sibling but feels like a brother or sister (maybe a cousin or friend)? What makes that relationship so close?
