As children we did everything with our parents, we ate at the dinner table together, we all watched movies together, our parents always told us that they wanted us to stay intouch and do things to gether when we became adults. I think parents have to set the example of closeness in the family. We have too many families now adays that don't eat dinners together, separate vacations, children eating dinner at someone elses home, and televisions in every room of the house, and parents allow it. I am a mom of two, I raised my children the same way my parents raised us, My brothers and I talk almost everyother day, we still live in the same town, and we visit regularly, we have bbq's and dinners together constantly, my two adult children both live in different states, they talk to each other every day, our parents told us never be to busy in your adult life to visit and call your brothers, and I told my children the same thing. So again I feel parents have to demonstrate and set the example for sibling closeness.

Don't let them fight over things. Anytime my kids would fight over a toy or something, it didn't matter who started it, I took it away and nobody had it. As a result, they rarely fight over anything. They all three are teen agers now and the best of friends. They hand out together and my two girls 16 and 18 even take their little bro, 13 out places...without me asking! They have a great relationship and we are often complimented on how well they get along.

My folks always made sure to treat us equally, for the most part. If one got something, so did the other 2. They discouraged fighting by making us work together on things. My mother was a mild lady. I think that made us mild too.

it's something that has to be instilled in them when they are very young. Dont compare the siblings, Dont interfere with their quarrels, Dont label them. Also, when one feels sad have the other give him a hug and kiss to make him feel better. Just some ideas
