Good Days

“We’re going to the championships!”

“I have a solo in the concert!”

“I made the team!”

“My art was chosen for the display!”

When something great happens to siblings,

it’s even greater for them when they can

share it with you. You know better than just

about anyone how hard your sister worked

for it, or how much your brother hoped for

it. So your excitement means more, because

you really understand.

Also, one of the best things about families is

that people get to talk about how happy and

proud they are. Out in the world, it might be

considered bragging, but in the family, it’s OK

to shine. When you celebrate your sib’s win,

you’re adding to the happiness in the house,

and that feels good for everyone. Any happy

occasion for someone in your family is a good

excuse for the whole family to celebrate.

So when your sister gets that piano solo, tell

her how proud you are of her. If your brother

has a big game or performance coming up,

ask whether there’s anything you can do to

help him prepare. If your sib has a part in a

show, get tickets and go!
