Encourage strong bonds between your children and their siblings. If you ever separate or divorce, split the parents but not the siblings. That bond is too great, and separating them holds the kids responsible for an adult mistake. As bitterly as I sometimes fought with my sister when we were children, I cannot imagine my life without her. We had this interesting hybrid of interests—I played dolls with her and she collected baseball cards with me. We were all the other had, especially when my mom went back to work. If my parents had split us and I lived with my dad while my sister stayed with my mom, I would have been devastated, and my sister would have been just as traumatized.
