Five ways to strengthen sibling friendship {Heather's Handmade Life}

I’m totally jinxing this by writing it, but our nine-year-old son and seven-year-old get along very well.

Of course, they fight sometimes, especially at night when they’re tired and cranky, but overall they enjoy spending time together and we’re glad they (mostly) enjoy each other’s company.

Is it because they’re close in age? Is it because we have one boy and one girl? Is it because of how we parent them? NO IDEA!

But in this week’s parenting column, I’m chatting about five specific things I do to ensure our son and daughter are best buddies, from scheduling hacks to sneaky ultimatums.

Read my weekly parenting column, The Mom Scene, for my five tips on strengthening sibling friendship.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m a writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep them from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time with her writing. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
