Help Siblings Become Friends, with Luke and Jonah

An honest (fun) conversation! – Invite the kids and be inspired.

Since last March, at the end of each month I have been covering highlights from a chapter of my book, Raising Amazing: Bringing up Kids Who Love God, Like Their Family, and Do the Dishes Without Being Asked!  Today we get to cover the topic of sibling relationships from Chapter 11, with the help of my two sons, Jonah (22) and Luke (19).

I know sibling relationships can be challenging, and they are obviously not entirely in our control as parents. (far from it!) However, in Raising Amazing I share some of the things we can do as parents that I think make it a lot more likely that kids will grow up to be friends. (even if they fight like crazy growing up!)

The boys and I have a lot of fun in this chat and I hope some of your kids might listen with you, and be inspired! Find show notes and links below!
