My oldest son is 8 years older than his brother. From day one, our eldest son seemed to think his baby brother was his responsibility. He has been right there with us teaching him to walk, talk, and preparing for school, and how to take care of hisself from others. He has also helped their dad to coach the youngest sons first year in football and baseball. When the youngest started to high school, our oldest was still around keeping tabs on his brother, and running interference for him when he made some bad decisions. We have explained to him, that his job is to be his brother and let us handle the problems. But he can't, he feels so strongly about wanting to be there if he needs someone. The most important thing out of all this is that our oldest son has instilled the values of family loyalty into his brother and this has kept our family very close. The youngest teases his brother, by introducing him as his second Mom. But over all, its really been a blessing for all. Some times it takes a whole village to raise a child, and that is how its been in our home.

My oldest brother taught his 4 younger brothers anything and everything. He sets good examples for them, and all of them do whatever he does. So, just teach him not to drink and drive or do drugs. Stuff like that.

I've got three sons. I don't count on the older ones to teach the younger ones anything. I try to make sure they don't pass on bad habits. The only thing I really expect of my boys is to watch out for eachother and to defend eachother. That's not too much of an issue, it seems to come naturally. Just try to enjoy him as much as you can and don't get to annoyed when he wants to copy everything you do.

Nothing. Fathers are supposed to do that, but young brothers usually, naturally, take after their big brothers in almost everything even the hobbies.

You would think how to be a decent guy but many big brothers pass on their own bad habits by example. If the big brother calls women "hoes" all the time the younger brother might start to think it is cool to call women hoes too.when it is not.

he doesn't have to teach him anything. not like he's gonna sit him down and say "ok today we're going to learn how to drive a car..." little brothers learn from their older brothers by watching them pretty much. so if you go around playing basketball and are really good at it, a little bro would likely want to play basketball. if you go around getting drunk and stoned all the time, a little bro would want to do that. :P

My huge brother taught me the thank you to climb up timber, regrettably, he wasn't so coming near near with the lesson on the thank you to get down. To today time I certainly have a foul scar on my leg and an apprehension of having caught in timber!

That there is always someone who will be there to look out for you. To mind your manners around strangers. To do their best in school. And to mind his parents. That's what a good big brother is for, be there.
